IM PLAYIN discuss Sony's PlayStation VR, and their reasons as to why it will probably prove to be the most popular.
"Sony has announced the price of PlayStation VR, and I must admit that it was far cheaper than I expected. I’ve always believed that, if VR was going to take off and go ‘mainstream’, it would be on the shoulders of one of the console manufacturers – and I have a feeling that it could be Sony leading the way. Maybe you agree, maybe you disagree. Check out my five reasons outlining my logic, and then let me know in the comments below if you’re like minded – or if you think that I’m full of it!"
VR veteran Survios is currently working on Alien: Rogue Incursion, so we take a look back at its history of VR works.
Cloudhead Games has announced the VOIDSLAYER update for Pistol Whip, adding three new scenes in June for all supported platforms.
Thirdverse, the Japan-based VR studio behind Swords of Gargantua, Altair Breaker, and X8, announced that its VR multiplayer JRPG SOUL COVENANT is coming to all major headsets next month. Developed by the core team behind SOUL SACRIFICE (2013), players are thrust into a post-apocalyptic Tokyo in the franchise’s first VR expansion.
Don't forget retail presence and marketing penetration. It's not so much the advertising dollars, as it is the advertising spaces.
In the UK For example, HTC have partnered with PC World stores and have demo stations in 3 PC World stores around the UK, as well as 2 other stores http://www.videogamer.com/n...
While that is a great move, Sony have partnership deals and strong retail presence with GAME and other retailers, and if the comments from GAME MD ard anyting to go by they will be providing a much bigger retail presence for PSVR across some 200+ stores http://www.gamasutra.com/vi...

All I know is that VR is the coolest thing in a long time for games. Don't care who dominates. I just want to play it.
PS4 has a good install base
Some people already have the camera/move controller
The price
PS has a great reputation for games
Its new tech that gamers are itching to try out
digital foundry comparison and break downs of vr games is going to be fascinating to watch because psvr isn't capable of higher resolution than the other 2 . psvr getting the xb1 treatment is going to break allot of noses .
