Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus, confirmed that the VR headset will cost as much as a new console.


Although the number $350 is discouraging to those eagerly awaiting the headset, Luckey says that the cost is not to boost price margins, but rather to provide the highest quality possible for the VR. Because the technology is new, outsourcing its components is fairly expensive. If the market grows, the price will drop on future models (much like the early days of DVDs and home computers).

Luckey explains,

' you='' know,='' i’m='' going='' to='' be='' perfectly='' honest='' with='' you.='' we’re='' roughly='' in='' that='' ballpark…='' but='' it’s='' going='' to='' cost='' more='' than='' that.='' and='' the='' reason='' for='' that='' is='' that='' we’ve='' added='' a='' lot='' of='' technology='' to='' this='' thing='' beyond='' what='' existed='' in='' the='' dk1='' and='' dk2=''>

Porównując, Andrew House z Sony twierdzi, że PlayStation VR będzie działało mniej więcej tyle samo.

Luckey mówi, że skupiają się na jakości produktu bardziej niż na czymkolwiek innym. To ma sens, ponieważ jeśli kupujący czują, że kupili wysokiej jakości, dobrze wykonany produkt, wrócą do drugiej rundy.


Oculus Rift zostanie wydany w kwietniu 2015 roku.
