Mr. Blunty3000 said something in there that made me jump out of my seat. He hinted at the consumer version being on shelves for THIS year's holiday season. I know its all summery now, but that's only a few months away. Surely this was just a misunderstanding and they intended NEXT year not this year."MangaCorps" wrote:

A prototype is not the same as a devkit.
The dev kits that are out are doing what they need to do, getting developers into the virtual environment so they can design things built specifically for the virtual space. Releasing a 1080p dev kit now wouldn't really encourage further innovation from the development side unless there are more features added than just higher resolution. It would, however, create a situation where more people would be pressured into buying the original dev kit, the 1080 p dev kit, and then finally the consumer version, which could have a negative effect on people's view of the company/product. There just aren't any good reasons to release a 1080p dev kit. Of course, it would be nice to have a 1080p version in my hand right now, but that alone is not a good reason to do it.
Come to think of it, maybe that consumer 1080p being released this year isn't so far fetched since they don't really need to release a second dev-kit. With the rapidly expanding mobile technology they may need to go ahead and just release it now, or risk being caught in perpetual development as the technology that drives the OCR itself continues to grow. Could also be with the new big money backers and the massive wave of hype that has hit, they are pushing for an earlier release than originally intended or capable of. Needless to say that's all complete tin-foil-hat-worthy speculation.

If they get the positional to be functional 'enough'.... there is no viable reason whatsoever -that I can think of- to hold back on a consumer release.
