People who want to taste before VR, some may be found in two main products HTC Vive and Oculus Rift over their affordable range, the former $ 799 (domestic 6888), $ 599 (domestic market), and nearly $ 1000 computer is needed to run.
In contrast, GDC 2016 Sony PlayStation VR $ 399 price is published by many close to the people, especially when you take it into PS4 host adapter is only $ 349 when combined have not even higher Vive.
In addition, although PSVR $ 399 price of just bare metal, but even with PlayStation Camera and handles (both prices are around $ 60), the bundle prices are projected at around $ 500, still cheaper than PC based Vive and Rift, and many people already have two parts.
So, why three big PSVR is cheaper?
More low-end products virtual reality headset VR Shinecon virtual reality headset
First statement is compared with the Vive and Rift, cheap, many China-made helmets are much cheaper than in it (of course experience worse), not to mention there are $ 99 Gear VR and you can DIY Cardboard.
Back to the topic, a penny stock, three big PSVR experience whether it is configured on the lower level, even the official admitted. PSVR monocular 960x1080 resolution lower than Vive and the 1200x1080 Rift, about 100 degree Visual angle of 110 degrees lower than the other two.
PSVR product spec sheet
A parameter considered PSVR advantage is the refresh rate, it supports a refresh rate of 120Hz and 90Hz, and Vive and the Rift is 90Hz. But in fact it had fishy PSVR output 120FPS the game screen is not original, but through a processing unit will PS4 console rendering 60FPS converting 120FPS output to the screen.
So PSVR local refresh rate is supported by 60HZ and 90HZ. The artificially inflated screen frame rate can make the player feel the game more fluid, reduce dizziness. And Sony is doing is because PS4 performance enough to support such a high refresh rate.
Vive and PC platforms is Rift, players money can go higher, recommended minimum configuration includes high-end graphics card GTX more than 970. By contrast, in 2013 the PS4, video card configuration is equivalent to AMD HD 7870 on PC, and users cannot upgrade their. Even though Sony claims that higher operating efficiency than PC games host, but the actual configuration is still there.
Therefore, PS4 is not high, PSVR can only do correspond to the level of overall lower and lower prices.
Free hardware
Is not to say that hardware is not money, but money from hardware or small profits but quick turnover, game console manufacturers are doing. Host brings more users cost-effective, thus promoting the sales of other products such as games. Sony on this PSVR continues this policy is also very natural.
PSVR can play around this policy, because Sony in gaming than Oculus and HTC a higher starting point, PS4 has sold more than 36 million units, with a lot of support from game developers and according to estimates by Nvidia, Oculus shipments, only 13 million PC were to meet the requirements of. Rift and Vive is a new platform, developer base is weak a lot.
Platform
In the previous article I explained "why is the first successful is probably PlayStation VR VR helmet? "Now after Sony announced prices, the idea can be more certain.
But HTC and PSVR Vive, Oculus Rift with contrasting bias, after all, has a different platform. Like game players in the PC Division and host the party of the party, to the VR will also have the differentiation. Like hosts of people, particularly people who had bought a PS4, estimates on the VR will continue to select PSVR; while the PC Party at Vive, Rift and other PC-based VR helmet to make a choice. The host countries not popular in China, estimated the PC Party will prevail.
