PS4 VR Headset to Be Priced "As a New Gaming Platform," Sony Boss Says

So I guess 2016 is the year of VR. We need another Nintendo thinker that doesn't focus on specs but rather good content. Then well have a console. Even though the wii gets abused (by people) because you can't control it as much as you want to. It's still like in my top 5 best gaming consoles list ever. Soley for the unique experiences it could bring so simply to the table running on a Texas Instruments calculator.

1. PS2

2. Xbox 360

3. PS3/1

4. Wii

5. Gameboy/DS

I mean I didn't even put the PS4 up here even though I spent the most money on that system. [Even more apparently (Morpheus)] Because it doesn't have nearly as much content as the systems listed above. Granted were about to get kick ass games like JC3 and Battlefront (Hopefully. I'm not being sarcastic I am literally pouring my soul into hoping that it doesn't flop and only bothers to care about the specs factor EXAMPlE: putting everything to scale from the movies but not having campaign or…sniff…sniff…Clone Wars…Disney already butt fucked the name of the animated Star Wars series with that new shit that revolves around a guy no one cares about with a Peter Pan weapon) and NEEDFORSPEED (I can't believe no one is excited for this game that much. IT'S BASICALLY UNDERGROUND 3 BUT COOLER) oh and my most beloved games (of 4 years ago) COD ASSasins creed and Halo ( Halo. I love you to DEATH man after Halo: Reach but now I have to get a $450 Xbox one [including the game] and I'll probably only have that one game for the whole console. And even if they did make the game on the 360 I wouldn't have as much as the drive to get it cause I know I would be playing sub par halo) but STILL there is no content on the PS4 that's utterly worth while until a game like JC3 or Uncharted comes out. So I'll have to say that the Wii is better than the PS4. So in summary. MAKE ORIGINAL FUCKING GAMES INSTEAD OF GAMES THAT FEEL LIKE THE PS4'S TOUCHPAD IN AN EMBODIMENT (cause its ONLY function is basically to serve as the select button in which you pull up maps and swith cameras. That's it. On triple A games anyway)

About what I expected, and probably a good price point for VR at this time. The people who are interested are willing to pay more than that.

I can't make any decisions until I see what Nvidia is working on. They're in the perfect position to develop an incredible VR headset.

The main thing I want to be assured of is that it will work with the playstation 5. $400x2 is a lot of money for a console per generation.

WAAAAAAAY too much. The ting will have problems with getting 60 fps and resolution.

Mgs vr edition and take my money

They treating it like new consle or something

this isn't about a pricepoint for tech, this is about how everyone will eventually receive entertainment, full stop. If you wanted to listen to music 150 years ago you went to a concert, then you bought a grammaphone to bring the music into your home, then you placed it on your head so you could carry the music around. Same with movies. First up we had to go to the movies to see something, then on video tape, now on a small screen TV, next on your head so you can watch anywhere. This is just the next evolution of things. Price will start high, quality will be sus, prices will fall, tech will improve, inevitable people. I can't wait to read the comments when we are asked what price we will pay to have signals, both sound and image sent directly to the fastest, highest fidelity computer in the world, your brain. Don't laugh, its coming

@mjc0961: u could be right about move but the vita is actually one of the best consoles to date. Think about how great it is. OLED screen. 2 cameras. 2 touch screens. High res. great specs. I mean for 2012 it was actually pretty good. It's just that no one bought it(besides me) and there was no content. There are some decent triple A games though. They would just need like a ps2 emulator on the psvita to make it really boom.

The occulus dev kit is around $350 so that makes sense. It's new technology guys!

So $300-$400, as well as already owning a PS4, with only ten titles? This is why VR is going to fail.

Anyone who calls this a gimmick and talking crap about it simply have not tried it yet. I have a Samsung Gear VR and as someone who owns a VR device I'm telling you it will blow you away. It's not a gimmick and it's not just an immersive gaming experience, its an all around immersive entertainment device.

There's a good reason Mark Zuckerberg paid 2 billion for the Oculus Rift. I watched a movie demo in virtual 3d where i can see behind me and all around me. I've driven a car where I turn my head and can see outside the side window and the back seat of the car im in. I feel like i am in the virtual world and easily forget about the real world around me.

This is nothing you guys have ever seen, trust me.

This can't be news to anyone, surely. It looks the shit. I've been waiting for workable vr since lawnmower man, way back when. £300/£400? I was prepared to go to £600 without even flinching.

Color me intrigued...

If any of you complaining about price owns a expensive iphone or android phone then you are a hypocrite, anyhow there is no way they could sell this for less than $300 its very expensive to make.

Playstation VR bundle:

* PS4

* PS VR Headset

* PS Camera

* 1 PS Move Controller

* 1 Dualshock 4 Controller

* Some kind of software to get started

Guesstimate between $900-1000.

PS VR Upgrade Kit

* PS VR Headset

* PS Camera

* 1 PS Move Controller

* Some kind of software to get started

Guesstimate $500-600

PS VR base $400-500

hope it can be used as just another option than a tv

Why is it that people complain when Sony prices their product but when Apple releases something everyone's like "this is the best product ever", people fail to realize that Sony has put in a lot of money for research and development.

Another year and another gimmick from console makers. I hope it add to gaming experience, but I highly doubt it. I'm in wait and see mode.
