Last we heard, Sony was planning to launch the PlayStation VR in early 2016. However, based on Raines' comments, it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer. There's still no word on pricing, but Sony's Andrew House noted the VR setup would cost as much as a "new gaming platform." While HTC hasn't revealed a price for Vive (only a pre-order date), the Oculus Rift will cost $599. If the GameStop CEO's comments were accurate, perhaps we'll hear more about Sony's launch plans in the coming months.

Update: Sony tells CNET that the GameStop CEO was "speculating" and that they haven't discussed a launch date. The retailer is certainly eyeing a big push for the holidays, just like every other company, so there's a chance Raines was referencing internal plans. It's also possible that the system could become available before it hits shelves at GameStop. However, Sony didn't confirm if the PlayStation VR was still on track to release in the first half of 2016.
