I agree with Valve's position as an alternative...but the Index is priced 10k+ so targeted a completely different public, and Deckard is only rumored as far as I know. We have no idea if/when/how it will be released, or if they'll be able to reach a competitive price.
I wish them to succeed, but wouldn't count on it until we have actual release info.
It actually reminds me that Sony is rumored to release a Playstation VR2, which might be an interesting, though not standalone, as the PSVR 1 was decently good.
Also, I only realized while checking Valve's headset that HTC had a consumer grade headset gone public yesterday, though it doesn't have controllers and its future is a bit murky at this point.
- RealityVoid 5y agoThe index is ~1k, I don't know where you got the 10k figure from.
- yissp 5y agoMaybe 1k for the index and 2k for a reasonably high-end desktop, so 3k or 10x the price of a quest. Obviously that's not really a fair comparison for various reasons, though.
- makeitdouble 5y agoFor the comparison part, I don’t the index as overpriced or comparable to the Quest, it was more about the market position. I don’t know if Valve will be able to get down in price. For instance their Steam Deck which is in the 400+$ range for a handheld, when Nintendo went with lower specs but also lower price. Valve doesn’t seem that interested in that strategy.
