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=''>

Andrew House de Sony, quant à lui, affirme que la PlayStation VR fonctionnera à peu près au même niveau.

Luckey dit qu'ils se concentrent sur la qualité du produit plus que toute autre chose. Ce qui est logique, car si les acheteurs estiment avoir acheté un produit de haute qualité et bien fait, ils seront de retour pour le deuxième tour.


La sortie de l'Oculus Rift est prévue pour avril 2015.
