4 million PC VR headsets sold within the past few years according to Nvidia

It was on their slide during their conference.  Apparently it's doubled from before within the last year or so.

It's really easy to tell who the VRgins are around here... the regurgitate the same shit... and are completely ignorant.  Rem, please take us srsly PLZ!!  

 

There's never been a VR game more overrated than Astro-bot.  The critics have latched onto what they could.. so that VR could have "this moment"  

 

What a fucking FARCE.  It's a fine game... a good use of the technology.  But absolutely NOTHING special.

People think VR is dead, because it's not selling like a nintendo switch/wii, but what they fail to see is that something like VR doesn't need those kinds of numbers to be a success.  Unlike regular consoles, game attachment rate for VR is high and sales will only get better as cheaper headsets and vr compatible gpu are released.

There's the simple fact that it's the future of display technology.  There's nowhere else for display tech to go... So people can claim VR will fail all they want... but it will never go away... it simply goes back to the drawing board until the right company implements it at the right time with the right features and ease of use.

Flumipee  

You're all wrong

 

PC VR doesn't even have RE7 so I'd definitely give it to the cows here with their poverty setup lmfao

Word. Imagine when higher resolution devices come out allowing you to put in a headset and watching a 4k movie like you're in a movie theater.

But it does, developers are going under trying to support the medium and software doesn't advance when little money is being made. The most successful titles are selling only a couple hundred thousand of units and once you get out of the top few games the figures for adoption are abysmal.

Once we get that fidelity, along with the extreme ease of use... VR is going to explode.

Going by your past predictions I feel like I should invest heavily in VR.

It's not a prediction though, the games sell poorly. Just for reference that Fallout 4 VR figure is 78,000 sold copies... Superhot is 102,000, Job Simulator is 170,000... Look how abysmal those figures are on PC and then look at PSVR... Skyrim: 36,000...

PSVR earns nothing for developers

PC VR needs OLED Displays with RGB sub pixels

The description for the abbreviation of VR is Video Recorder. And if it’s a headset it records what you see. No freedom.

[madmaltese★ 2,555]

Decent start for such a niche and expensive produce and more importantly the support seems to be continuing. Once a wireless headset becomes affordable then we will see how it can really perform in the market.
