The Big Question: Who’s Going To Win The VR Race?

The VR race is heating up. And I’m always torn on who I think has the best chance at success.

At one point I felt as though Oculus were the experts. This is what they do. They’re going to kill it.

Then Valve jumped on board with the HTC Vive and I thought, damn. Valve won’t lose this battle. Apparently the HTC Vive is pretty good from a technical perspective.

PlayStation VR? I was a little cynical about that. It’s a peripheral, it won’t have the scope and ambition of the Oculus Rift.

But then I played it. And now I’m starting to seriously think that PlayStation and Sony have the right idea. I wonder if Oculus and the HTC Vive will be too much of a ‘PC thing’ to go properly mainstream. The PlayStation 4 is selling well, it’s about to get a broader audience with price cuts — maybe it has a better chance at success?

I’m not sure.

What are your thoughts?
