On the heels of Flavio Parenti, CEO of Loading Human who believes PS VR will become the VR standard comes praises from another CEO. Patrick O’Luanaigh who leads nDreams believes that because of PS VR’s lower price point which puts it at half of its competitors, the new addition to the virtual landscape is poised to lead. Price point aside, the simple fact of needing a high-end PC rig will be another obstacle for Oculus and HTC which PS VR won’t face. O’Luanaigh went on to say:

 We’re very bullish about PSVR. Sony has created a supremely comfortable headset and is launching it at a great price. The 40m+ PS4 owners don’t require any additional hardware – just plug in the headset and camera and it just works. PSVR will sell extremely well. 

Adding to the praise is Supermassive producer Simon Harris:

 Sony is delivering a very competitively-priced product to an audience of some 40m+ users who have a PS4. There’s this huge audience to whom Sony is saying: ‘here’s this new experience, this is the price point, we’d love you to come on board’. 

I can’t argue with that. For Sony, the key is going to be in marketing the system while keeping the game and content pipeline flowing.

Do you think PS VR will prevail over Oculus and HTC?
