In response to "Sony's VR stands to be about 3x more popular than the Oculus Rift in 2016. -- (link)" by Shaun

I have to say that the price point of the Oculus Rift shocked me.

I wonder what went wrong if they had to price it like that and couldn't even include the Rift controller.

Responses:

It's more that they've been saying for a while (as the article notes) that they were looking more in that 200-400 range -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 11:02 6
- That's what I mean. The fact that they totally punted on that is maddening. - Sith Lord Sexypants Jan 7, 11:03 5
  - It comes with an Xbone controller. -- nm - Shaun Jan 7, 11:16 2
    - Yes but not the Rift controller, which won't be out until the third quarter. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Jan 7, 11:20 1
      - How many more feet do they have to shoot? Jesus. -- nm* - Shaun Jan 7, 11:22
  - same. I'm completely jazzed about Valkyrie but I can't afford the Rift let alone the $400 graphics upgrade to run it. I'd rather get 2 4k monitors -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 11:04 1
    - Yup. $600 + at least a $1000 PC to run it effectively. -- nm - Shaun Jan 7, 11:19
