Sony admits its PlayStation VR won't match up to Oculus Rift

[Percy1983]

I do think the screen/optics will be better than the PSVR than the DK2 so it will look better than the DK2 but that as good as the CV1.

I agree if PSVR is good enough and not to expensive it has a real chance and as said before I hope it does well as VR in general will benefit.

As for not spending the money on a PC to run a Rift/Vive, I agree not everybody will do that but consider the next gen graphics card mid range will be as powerful as this generations top end so prices will tumble.

The way I see it right now I am gaming in UHD while PS4 owners are quite happy with a cheaper 1080p, I will buy a Rift and have the best VR PS4 owners can buy PSVR and have a cheaper good experience.

I really don't think either is the right way but I do want as many VR kits out there as possible as both camps gain if VR gains traction.

VHS wasn't as good as betamax, but it was cheaper, ditto HD-DVD and Blu-ray. Those examples tell us that success is down to either lower price or having the porn industry onside.

Or, at least in the first example, better marketing as a result of the company brlieving in it's own product. That certainly ought to ge a lesson seared into Sony's corporate psyche.

I'm with Bagpuss on this ... for the mass market it needs to be good enough .... though I'd add good enough at the right price, because state-of-art is nearly always a market aimed at dedicated enthusiasts and the very well-heeled.

The HTC vive release cost is about pre release cost of £800,
