The industry is anticipated to bring in $5.1 billion through gaming alone in 2016, and no product is more anticipated than the Oculus Rift.
"However, mass-market adoption of virtual reality for gaming is a long ways off", he told TechNewsWorld.
The PlayStation VR headset has been originally revealed as Project Morpheus. The front-facing camera is an especially clutch feature as our very own Marc Perton described following his test drive on the Vive, especially since neither the Oculus or the PlayStation VR has implemented this feature.
Unlike with the launch of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Sony wants to ensure that PlayStation VR launched with a strong roster of VR-enabled titles and experiences from day one. Inevitably, the costs for the Rift - and for the high-spec gamer PCs with VR-running capabilities - will drop over time.
Ever since trying the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset almost four years ago, I've found it nearly impossible to describe how revolutionary the medium is.
Oculus is offering a Rift and PC bundle for $1,499.
On Reddit, Luckey apologized for his earlier comments, explaining that at the time he was trying to combat expectations that the Rift would cost more than $1,500. However, there is one key aspect that suggests that the PlayStation VR isn't necessarily at the same level as its PC virtual reality counterparts.
PlayStation VR is due to hit United Kingdom shelves later this year - but Sony have continued to stay tight-lipped about a launch date or price. Speaking at CES to the BBC, the chief executive Kaz Hirai has said that there are now that 200 developers have signed up to make content on the PlayStation VR, with over a 100 already in production.
This statement from Sony doesn't exactly deny that Amazon's listed price was incorrect, and if it does turn out to be true, it would mean the PlayStation VR would cost about $200 more than the Oculus Rift.
That's become something of a specialty for the Miami firm, which a year ago provided a US$599 (RM 2649) entry to Valve's certified Steam Machine lineup, a range aimed at those looking for a more streamlined PC gaming experience.
