VR isn't a peripheral, which immediately breaks your whole argument. Likewise, a peripheral can still grow to be very large anyway. PSVR alone has had better support in 2 years with 3-4 million sales than Kinect had over 7 years with tens of millions of sales.
Their support this year has been incredible, and they've released possibly the best VR game on any platform with Astro Bot.
How so? It's fair to say it's too early to jump in, but if they always ignore VR, they are going to always be behind. Not to mention that one can never use VR and still reap all the benefits of VR developing, as plenty of advancements will trickle down to non-VR games.
Only if you are one of the people that think VR is a second (third?) screen for existing games.
Sony's VR software dominates the market the way Nintendo's dominates their consoles. So more like missed everything?
VR hasn't produced anything worthwhile in gaming to this point. It also completely goes against a social experience since you completely shut yourself off from your surroundings.
Google Earth in VR is genuinely amazing tho. I almost went out and bought a Rift after flying through 3d-rendered New York, Prague, etc. like superman. It immediately abolished all of my skepticism for VR, and made it evident that this will be the next big thing given time.
Okay, no. That is just plain false. VR can isolating, but only if you want it to be. Otherwise, you can play party games or asymmetrical games with people on your couch. Beat Saber in particular has probably been the main source of life at many thousands of parties worldwide. Not to mention that VR multiplayer is far more social than any other form of multiplayer gaming. So basically, if you allow it to be, VR is the most socially connecting technology on the planet.
Oculus Go, Lenovo Mirage Solo, Vive Focus, Pico Neo, and the upcoming Oculus Quest which will be the first all-in-one VR headset to be basically identical to a high-end VR setup aside from less processing power.
I think you need to read the tweet again. He was just going about his business when she felt the need to call him an "Xbox person" and tell him she preferred PS4 simply because of the T shirt he was wearing. His response was just a bit of fun. I'm sure she isn't a snowflake, and she'll be fine.
It's the attitude. I mean first of all, expecting a killer app in under 3 years is already quite optimistic given that no full-blown medium has managed that in the past, but it's as if he's overlooking the very highly rated titles that have released. They aren't killer apps, but people playing those games would not be as negative as the guy in his comment.
