Depends on how impressive it is and how cheap they can get it bundled with hardware. I think if you sold it as a all in one box (console/add-on) for 600 dollars, it would sell to people that really wanted Oculus Rift to be 350ish.

Think about it, with Oculus Rift you're paying 600 just for the head hardware, you still need a good enough PC to run the thing. I think the PSVR might be a worse experience but thats just how it goes with PC vs  Console. PC's always have beefy hardware. But people still buy console games cuz their hassle free. IF someone wants to get a VR set up and they don't want all that tech mumbo jumbo of making a PC for over 800 bucks then getting a 600 dollar headset. PSVR is less hassle and cheaper.

Expect there to be kiosks at all retailers before it launches. They say you have to fully experience VR to appreciate it... we shall see if the public agrees.

It hasn't that was NeoGaf going into fanboy mode . You can still pre-order the item . Not that limited stock selling out , is a guide to a product being the next BIG thing

You are right it's no guide for the next "big" thing though.

Selling out means little, more so for pre orders when no one has to put their money where their pre-order button is  . The 32X sold out at it's USA, the Mega CD sold out in Japan and in the USA during its launch and the Dreamcast sold out of all its pre launch units.

The unit costs too much and just has too many wires and is a mess to set up to be mass market imo . It's like 3D a fad and will never ever be main stream enough imo  It be nothing more than one of those party type add-ons that you only ever use now and again or for 1 or 2 games.

I do see any of the VR systems taking off imo
Panzer Dragoon Zwei is
One of the best 3D shooting games available

It's been doing the rounds for a while now, but more rumours are circulating that Sony are going to release a Playstation 4.5.

It'll basically allow all of PS4's current games to work, but with an extra hardware boost for 4k.

What a load of bullshit.

I hope consoles die. Except for the Xbox, because I actually bought one.

Probably just the PS4 Slim with beefier specs to stream your 4K Netflix or something
