It seems most VR headsets are pricey, so it is a wait and see game of if it will succeed.This was a bigger concern when the price for Oculus Rift was announced at $599, not to mention the pretty massive PC rig you'd need just to run the thing. I think the price point for PlayStation VR is a nice sweet spot aimed entirely at PlayStation fans who already have a PS4 and camera (which I happen to be in such a crowd). I see this more as another PS3 situation: Sony takes a huge hit in profit for the gamble of it taking off in the future.
Also, for every new technology you will always have early adopters that believe in it. VR is coming, it won't happen overnight, but it's not going to be like motion controls.
Frankly, because I have the camera and PS4, along with Move controllers already being in my wishlist for a year or so, I'm actually considering buying it. Problems are the lack of games I'd care about and how much better spent that $399 would be. However, that's just me.
To all the early adopters, I thank you!
