Look at the PCs that existed eight years ago. There have been so many huge advances since then. Now look at the VR hardware of today. I think the jump we're going to see in the next four or five years is going to be massive, and already VR is a very intensive thing, it requires rendering at high resolutions at over 60 frames a second in 3D.” Luckey points out there are already next-gen games running in 720p “so they can barely hit 60 in 2D.” “It's hard to imagine them running a VR experience that's on par with PC,” he said.[/quote] In a nutshell: -Consoles have locked hardware that cannot be upgraded -Advancements in VR technology cannot be made because of the above point -PCs are always upgraded and make bigger advancements in technology than consoles I could not agree more. (This next part I'll be assuming, correct me if I'm wrong.) Will the consoles be able to use the Rift? Yes, but ONLY as a regular screen, per say. You won't be able to actually use the VR technology. Get what I mean? Anyways, good, I'm glad that somebody is doing the right thing and NOT putting something so advanced on a console, because the console version would be terribly cutdown and it would just not be a good experience, and in doing this, advancements in VR would be made very slowly, or not at all. You can tell that the goal of Oculus and their Rift is NOT to necessarily make a profit (don't get me wrong, of course it's good to make a profit) but to improve and advance VR technology, and to that, I applaud you. +1 Oculus
