Sony has a fixed hardware system. PS4 is likely to be around for at least 5 years. Carmack has stated already (and I doubt he's bullshit, even with his competitive motivations) that this gen of consoles just aren't powerful enough for what VR needs to be truly immersive. From my experience, most PS4 games struggle to even maintain 60fps at 1080P. VR is likely to require more than 4x resolution and even 1.5-3x refresh rates. Who knows what kind of latency is baked into the graphic cards and such because they didn't think they'd need more refresh rate.

I'd concede that maybe Morpheus will be just good enough to make it work, games can be simplified to run faster, and games can very tuned unlike PC games because it's fixed hardware.

Personally I think any one of the players in the game can just copy any strategy anyone else makes, to a point. Samsung for instance is likely going to be ahead of the game on display technology manufacturing, but who knows I don't have the best handle on the display screen technology race.

If your requirements are high quality graphics VR will be crap for the foreseeable future. Very few people have the graphics power for good VR in their home PCs, the market is basically non existent.

Sony has the first party advantage in terms of getting their stuff to look beautiful and artistic at low graphics quality. Games like Journey and tearaway have demonstrated Sony's mastery in this regard. Their gaming ecosystem is first class, a huge advantage over FB and Samsung.

My money is on Sony until the PS5, which is when the 2x4k and 120hz era of VR will begin.
