Sorry Xbox fans, it does not look like the Oculus Rift is going to compete with the PlayStation VR. The VP of Oculus has stated that nothing is in the works right now, and that should make Xbox fans a little upset. However, here are five other reasons why Xbox fans should be even more upset:
REASON 1
The PlayStation VR is set to be a virtual reality take on video games. Everyone has known about this for quite some time now, and everyone is ready to finally play a virtual reality video game.
REASON 2
The idea to have the VR as an attachment to the PS4 could lead to more of this in the future. While the Oculus Rift is falling apart due to lack of development, the VR is proving that consoles can have multiple platforms on it.
REASON 3
The specs on the PlayStation VR are top of the notch, as well. The refresh rate comes in at a staggering 120 hertz, and the display is an awesome two 1080p OLED display. The latency is also a very low 18 milliseconds, and it also has 360-degree head tracking.
REASON 4
The idea of 3D sound is absolutely amazing. Well, the great news for all PlayStation fans is that the VR comes with a 3D audio engine. This basically means that all surrounding sounds will be heard, and will be heard in a 3D type of way.
REASON 5
Maybe the greatest feature to the VR is going to be the price. There have been rumors, and also leaked prices, but the official price is still unknown. However, it seems like Sony has made it evident that they do not want to break the bank of their consumers. There have also been rumors that it will be cheaper than the Oculus Rift.
