They went all in on hardware this year putting out a new upgraded console and VR. That's a lot of risk in one holiday season,they better hope they are right

Found it kinda funny you can plug into your xbox or wii or pc and view content in cinema mode. Would have thought sony would have put some proprietary controls in place.

VR headsets have yet to ever be well received, they've been around both physically and conceptually for well over 2 decades.

Sony is gonna take a huge L for this one.

Think about how long winded the Nintendo Wii's "Motion control revolutionary concept" spiel was.

Sony VR will be Wii Sports 2.0

$3 at a goodwill 5 years from now.

I've heard it works well, but I was looking at the games that work with it and it didn't look like anything good

I doubt it, Facebook and Google and the likes aren't dumping millions of dollars into it for nothing. Vr tech and augmented reality will be a thing, but who knows if Sony will be able to grab a market share or not.

Sony already announced they've sold out on the first two pre-orders. People are buying it regardless of what is said about it or what experiences are offered for it (not unlike PS4).

I think its too early to tell if VR will be a success or flop. It could be a fad or it could be the next big thing. It could be 4k TV or it could be 3D tv. No one will know until about a year from now. I think the biggest thing will be if it has the software to make it good. So far most of the software looks like shit but maybe it will pick up some steam

investment does not by any means equate to success

many similar "technological breakthroughs" have been hugely overfunded and flopped, or been a huge success in a flash-in-the-pan sense
