It didn't take Microsoft and Sony a decade to make a dent in video games. With games, it's not about the hardware anyway. If it were we'd all be rushing to buy the Dreamcast V.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYou're compering apples to carrots. In the case of VR, it definetly is about the hardware. To give users a good VR experience you need to be able to drive high resolution displays at high refresh rates, otherwise you'll get a nausea inducing ugly screen-door image that nobody will appreciate no matter how good your games are.
- rchaud 3y agoThat to me sounds like VR is selling a home theater system when 95% of the market is happy with what's coming out of their TV+soundbar.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoAgain, apples to carrots. You can play a game at 40hz on a TV but in VR that would instantly give you motion sickness. Different limitations and challenges.
- rchaud 3y agoWhat I'm saying is that VR can improve leaps and bounds, like home theaters have. It doesn't mean the market for it will grow the same way. It's still a niche interest for most. Sony doesn't invest much in PS VR, and you'd think they would if they thought it'd sell to their customers.
