In a review made by the SF Chronicle, the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift will now have a new competitor, the Sony Playstation VR. Based on the games that the SF Chronicle tested, the Playstation VR is a promising game accessory. Aside from being easy to setup, the Playstation VR also comes with a great selection of initial games which were released by different game publishers.
Compared to the Oculus Rift with a market price of $600 and the HTC Vivde with a market price of $800, the PS VR only cost about $400 per headset. Though there is a catch, the price is only for the PS VR headset only, this means a Playstation Move and Playstation Camera needs to be bought if you don't have one.
The PS VR can be bought via Amazon, GameStop and Best Buy. According to the Superdata, the PS VR might sell as much as 2.6 million units by the end of this year.
