The Morpheus makes one wonder if Sony attempted to talk Oculus into making the device platform-exclusive and failed. This is all very Sony/Nintendo-ey circa PSX

- jzelinskie 13y agoI don't think this is the case. Sony's VR R&D has been in motion since 2010 and John Carmack initially tried to get them to hire Palmer Luckey before the founding of Oculus[0]. According to leaks, the model they showed off this year was nearly identical to one that they almost showed off around the PS4's launch[1]. Sony have been working on this a long time and, just like Oculus, have been trying to make sure they don't somehow ruin the market like past VR products have. VR for consoles is a very different product than VR for high performance computers; Sony has to make many more compromises to run on the PS4 hardware.
