That's similar to what I hear when it comes to game development: "Microsoft is smart getting third party devs to make games for them"... but many of them ended up on PS4 and them closing first-party studios makes the consequences of that kind of lack of true investment even more transparent.

You say VR is still too expensive, but you said that it's also being heavily discounted right? So... good? Where did you hear about it being discounted overseas and why is it cause nobody is buying it? Explain to me how can they buy it if it's not in stock?

It's also not too bulky if you get the form factor right first time around, like Sony did with PSVR. In terms of mere sensory experience VR is COMPLETELY different to 3D gaming and motion controls on their own. That is, if you're talking about the experience and level of immersion it provides. I'm not sure if you're talking about the market - or what there...

It's okay that you think it will be a thing of the past in 12 months, but what if it isn't? Microsoft would have been smart to get involved and build up a foundation for themselves. It's why they're not the market leader in the gaming industry and never will be, as much as they want to be.

This time next year I'll quote you on that and see where it sits.

They can't salvage the technology if it is under a court order.

What are you talking about? All of your points are patently false. Overseas discounts? Too bulky for home use? Just had to point that out. Hey believe what you want. LOL.

Are you taking anything for these delusions??

wow you playstation clowns are always in denial when it comes to Sony...the writings on the wall...

Psvr has been discounted no where do you have any sources. It's still sold out in Australia and that is not an uncommon story with close to a million units sold supply still outweighs demand

After playing RE7 in VR, and looking towards Farpoint, GT and Ace Combat, I very much hope you're wrong about that. VR isn't perfect, and short of it delivering the full fidelity our eyes and ears are capable of experiencing it will always have somewhat glaring faults, but it makes gaming feel new and exciting again for me in ways 3D TV gaming and motions controls never did on their own. The combination of all those technologies provides something I've been hoping to have in my home since the old movies like Lawnmower Man were released, and gaming was just diving into the 3D polygonal era. To each their own, but I freaking love it. I'm also super excited for Switch, and love my PS4. Its an amazing time to be a gamer.

It's really bad when people try bring new experiences to gaming and some only want to see it fail. MS would do what they usually do. Let others take the risk and then swoop in if it's successful, buy technology or software that's almost complete, and then act like they're the first and the best to do it.

Not trolling, but that's usually how it goes.

'by this time next year VR gaming will be a thing of the past.'
Haha come back to this comment next year for a good laugh

Your link to extremetech is out of date and part of a slew of PSVR 'worries' for you to click on the last few months. Sony did speak up about PSVR sales recently

Nobody is buying PSVR yet Andrew House confirmed it's almost at 1 million units bought by consumers. Try talking facts next time.

@optimus:

Answer my question in my previous post before you post garbage. You sound so delusional.

@Optimus,

Just a heads up, Sony is actually just under 1 million PSVR units sold, and it would have been more if they coul keep up with the demand.

This. VR is pretty pointless for gaming, but the headsets are still so expensive that gaming is really the only way to market it as worth the price.
