In this thread we can see another individual who owned both a Rift and Vive, and they sold their Vive for well thought out reasons. You can try to contrast that all you like, I'm not really paying attention lol

@Zenbane well besides occasional games of Dragonfront or Keep talking and nobody explodes,(as well as demos for friends) my Rift has been in its box waiting for touch.

If there is a Vive owner out there who can exist without pretending that their product makes them superior to all competition, then yeah, that would be a great contribution.
It's probably safe to say there are system supremacists on both sides of the fence... that phrase sounds nasty but somehow apt! It's certainly true that there are goders and godees.. baiters and biters... and if nothing else we should learn that one can't exist without the other. So endeth the lesson.

So maybe Oculus was right when they say Roomscale is a (fun) gimmick but absolutely not the alpha & omega of VR ? ^^
& maybe roomscale has been (a few ^^) oversaled by Valve to hide a product & drivers way less finished than Oculus ?

@JED44 Its nothing more than a mild concern... but regardless of its inferior tracking.... history has shown us with technology that an inferior technology can win / overtake / and ultimately kill a superior one. (Sigh... that old VHS Vs Betamax thing again)
Honestly, if the number of consumers for Console VR ends up taking 90% of the VR market share (enter random guess of a high number here), then where do you think developers will commit their focus and resources to.
I believe VR can transcend gaming, but am under no illusion gaming will be the foundation of VR if it is to be a success... consoles are all about games, and if they win... believe me... PC could lose.

@Warbloke
that is fair, though I do think we will be seeing a more robust and developed tracking/motion controller system for console VR before long.
That and hopefully within the next 5-10 years we will have self contained VR systems on par if not better then those we have right now. No external console or PC required.

Agreed that one can't exist without the other, even when it comes to troll vs flamers B)

Warbloke: " Hi Mr fisherman, caught anything yet ?"
Fisherman: " Nope, my hook is baited, but nothing is biting 😞 "
Warbloke: " You still exist though... right ? "
Fisherman: " Go away you idiot "
