I don't think they will be able to keep up during Christmas. They had 4 stations setup for a week at my mall and we turned away quite a few people after the demos ended.
Also the phone companies all had booths setup for their own VR and the Vive. So there are other VR setups that will push VR sales in general.
In your imaginary world how many people own VR and Scorpio? They are starting at ZERO whereas PC and PS4 already have large bases to sell too. It's not like everyone that owns Scorpio will buy VR. Like my example above it would make no sense to port games even unless the adoption rate is high.
Example Let's 5% of people own VR
Scorpio lets say 1 million sold = 50,000
PS4 of 75 million = 3.75 million
Plus not 100% of VR owners...

The problem is the VR solutions for Xbox are all expensive and only work on Scorpio which has ZERO install base to start. By the time it comes there will be 75-80 million PS4's which are VR ready versus ZERO Scorpio. Plus it's not like everyone will own VR. Let's say there are 1 million Scorpio to start and say 5% of them that own VR will be ridiculously low (50,000). Say we go with the that random 5% number for PS4 for 75 million PS4 t...
With what fanbase? Why would a developer do anything when Scorpio will have ZERO install base to start? Plus of the percentage of Scorpio owners how many will own VR?
By the time Scorpio arrives with no install PS4 will be close to 75-80 million ready devices. Would you make games for 75-80 million or the device with NO install base? Lol.

" You might have played Uncharted 4, but we have played Halo 5 which also destroys your Uncharted in multiplayer content. While you are still left playing that months later I have Recore, Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and more coming in the next few months. Your move!"
Okay so you got 2 whole months out of the year?! Guess we should be happy you even got that. We already had Gravity Rush, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted 4, MLB 1...
While you are talking about the 1 great game on Xbox in 12 months we've played better games like Uncharted 4.
Shigeru Miyamoto said it best — 'A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.'
Sony isn't paying for RPG exclusives. The companies themselves don't foresee breaking even or low profit so they don't bother. It doesn't matter if there are 20 million XB1 out there if no one buys the games. Just look at Quantum Break didn't even move 200,000 in the U.S. (including bundles!)

Still not sure how keeping full games like GTA episodes off competing console for a year and expansions like skyrim for a year not worse?! At least with Destiny you can still play the game and expansions whereas PS3 owners had to wait a full year for GTA episodes and Skyrim expansions. Dead Rising 1 exclusive to 360 and never even got released on PS3.
Also how about Dead Rising 3 and 4 not coming to PS4?!
Rise of the Tomb Raider making PS4 owners wait a year?!
...
Do you have selective memory? MS paid to have GTA episodes exclusive to Xbox for a year. How about 1 year long exclusive on Skyrim expansions? Resident Evil 5 exclusive for 1 month?
How is a couple strike missions or weapons in Destiny compare to full games and expansions? Absolutely retarded logic.
Now you're mad at Sony and suggesting they're worse? Pot calling the kettle black.
If I could only convince them to make a Guyver game now......

Considering the great reviews for Attack on Titan I have high hopes Berserk is good as well. The Arslan game was pretty good too.
I think they will need to up their production. They had a PSVR setup at my mall. 4 stations going for a full week and I had to turn away a lot of people asking to preorder one since we sold out 8 months ago.
Not sure, but, the majority of my customers traded their old XB1 for the S. Most of our sales were clearing out stock at significant price cuts. PS4 with no games and a higher price point still outsold XB1/S too. It was a closer month though. Some of the momentum is carrying through too, although it's already starting to revert back to PS4.
EB Games has a bunch too. Just walk in and ask for one. Highly doubt we sell out. At launch week was the only time we sold out. It has tapered off significantly.
Yep. Yearly releases are pretty meh. Two years between games according to Forza fans still seems too much. What Xbone is on its what 5th release?
You know GT6 outsold the last 3-4 Forza's combined. For a series that we hear so much praise about, Forza fans don't really support their so called best games. That goes for Sunset Overdrive and other niche games.
All the Betas I have been a part of have been for free. Not sure how paying for one is beneficial.
I am waiting for Godeater, KOF, NMS , AoT and Deus Ex as well. Expensive month.
@Overlord I agree and will add a 3rd more important point
Actually there is a 3rd more important reason that MS will have trouble. Those expensive VR options won't work on XB1 or the S where as PSVR works on every PS4 model.
The Scorpio however have how many units out? ZERO. So they are literally starting from zero. Plus how many of the people who buy Scorpio end up with a premium headset?
Lets say 5% of people buy VR (it's ...
