The MIT Technology Review recently titled "Why Oculus and HTC need to be careful about Sony in the VR space? (Why Oculus and HTC Need to Watch Out for Sony in VR) article pointed out that with three advantages, Sony with PS VR will break out among the three.
First advantage - cheap
Sony said on the E3 that the PS VR will be released on October 13 with a bare-metal price of $399 (RMB 2,627). This price includes the main body, in-ear headphones and various cables. The camera and PS Move controller cost about $500 (RMB 3292).
Who will laugh at the end of HTC and Sony's VR battle?
Sony is about to launch VR devices
Even so, its price is much more competitive than the $599 Oculus Rift and the $799 HTC vive.
The second advantage - PS VR does not have to match high-performance PC
I believe that people who care about VR know that PS VR needs to be used with PS4. HTC vive and Oculus Rift need to be used with high-performance PCs. For example, the recommended configuration for HTC vive is as follows:
Processor: Intel I5-4590, AMD FX 8350 and above
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970, AMD Radeon R9 290 or above
Memory: 4GB or larger
Video output: HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 or newer
USB interface: 1xUSB 2.0 and above
Operating system: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
According to analysis by Piers Harding-Rolls, market research firm IHS gaming industry analyst, PCs of this or higher configuration may have a global presence of 17 million. If the user is assembled separately, it may cost an additional $1,000.
In contrast, according to Piers Harding-Rolls' estimates, the number of PS4s with PS VR may reach 53 million at the end of the year, a figure that far exceeds the 17 million mentioned above. More critically, a PS4 is priced at only one-third to one-quarter of the price of a high-performance PC. And PS4 and PS VR can also form a mutual sales promotion.
The third advantage - mature retail and distribution network
This is actually very well understood. Sony has accumulated years of experience in hosting, PS VR can follow the PS4 channel, sales system, and HTC and Oculus lack such advantages.
Based on these three advantages, Piers Harding-Rolls believes that PS VR may sell 1.6 million units this year (this figure is in line with Sony's own expectations), while Oculus Rift and HTC vive total sales of 1 million units.
At the end of that article, the MIT Technology Review also mentioned possible problems with PS VR.
Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Andrew House is concerned that PS VR will be out of stock, which will greatly affect consumer enthusiasm and normal sales rhythm.
Brian Blau, a Gartner analyst focused on games and VR, is concerned that in the long run, Sony can't come up with enough good games to keep users interested in PS VR.
Throughout, MIT Technology Review is optimistic about Sony's PS VR.
It is also a coincidence that at two different exhibitions, I experienced PS VR and HTC vive respectively. For a short experience, HTC vive is slightly better than Sony PS VR, mainly because the picture is slightly finer and the angle of view is better.
In general, if the HTC vive experience is 100 points, the PS VR score is 85 to 90 points. But if you really want to buy, in addition to the experience, Chinese users need to think more factors.
The most important possibility is the price. The price of HTC vive is 6.888 yuan. The price of PS VR is still unknown. However, according to Sony's $399 pricing reference, it is much cheaper than 6888 yuan. It is for sure.
If Product A can get the experience of product B 80% at half price, how can consumers think about it? Moreover, the current VR market is still in the pioneering stage, and the consumers who are eager for cost-effective early adopters are very popular. For this part of consumers, the attractiveness of low prices is huge. As long as Sony's time to market is not delayed, this part of consumers will choose Sony.
And the particularity of this market in China has to be taken into account. Messages that the Steam platform may not be able to access properly appear, and the relationship between HTC vive and the Steam gaming platform is very important. Sony's PS Store was difficult when it entered the Chinese market, but its performance after coming in was still stable.
However, the analysis is much more, the good and bad of the three, still have to go public to see the clue. Moreover, history has already told us that Wei Wei and Wu have been fighting for many years, but the last one is “Jinâ€. Ten years ago, Nokia, Moto and Sony Ericsson struggled in the mobile phone market, but now they are holding the industry profit head. The top spot was Apple, which had not released a mobile phone at the time.
