Microsoft isn't even developing VR for PC; Windows Mixed Reality is so absurdly broken when it is working...and then it stops working with Windows updates that have nothing to do with it, sometimes for something as silly as an Office update failing to install because the component being updated isn't installed in the first place. They don't even know what their own error codes mean half the time. So yeah...don't bring that to a console.

Yeah.....and VR isn't a "fad" at all because everyone everywhere is engaged in VR....NOT.


Been saying it for a year now, VR is a total fad. While it will likely be a success for medical WAYYYYY down the road, it's just not practical or viable at all right now. Oculus is a P.O.S. and expensive and heavy with limited content TO THE EXTREME rendering this rather useless. VIVE too.........a bigger P.O.S. that is even more expensive and even heavier while duping the public into trying its way more expensive and lame assed "pro" version. Ick!

The sub-399.00 headsets have yet to find a place or become mainstream.

FAD!
