The Vive is being touted as the best experience from media. Considering Valve are software developers they could develop the killer apps needed to get it to take off. If they can integrate it with Steam and make it easy to develop for it's an easy choice for PC gamers. It helps a lot Valve and HTC are releasing their headset first too.



Morpheus could also be really successful if Sony refines it and makes it affordable. Who knows when it'll come out, but the fact it can be sold as a PS4 accessory helps it tremendously. It just all depends on how Sony handles it.



The Occulus on the other hand doesn't really fit anywhere anymore with the Vive in the picture. VR makes sense with gaming, they were targeting the gaming industry because they felt it could help show the potential of the technology for other fields to adopt it, but that can't work anymore if Steam doesn't play nice. It does have the most publicity out of everything though and apparently they'll have an integrated appstore so the Occulus will act like a stand alone platform on PC. The Occulus could be in a vulnerable spot if it doesn't keep people and developers interested because they might have to work against Steam.



I'm curious what Gaf thinks about VR though. Are you buying a virtual reality headset? Which one is looking to be your buy? If you aren't planning to buy one, how come?.
