I think there is a clear distinction between PC based VR and console based VR . Personally , I do not want to deal with the hassles of a PC based VR system as there is way too much configuration and tweaking to be done . One of the big appeals of PS VR is that it is pretty much plug and play and really simplifies the process of getting everything set up . It took me about 20 minutes to set up my PS 4 Pro and PS VR headset and start gaming I very much doubt I would have had that kind of turnaround time with a PC based solution . I don ' t think the current Xbox One can really provide a solid VR experience even a cinematic mode type experience is not true VR and MS would only be shooting themselves in the foot if they tried to pass that off as VR or provided a VR experience that was no better than what Sony is giving us . Once Scorpio hits , then that plus Oculus or some other headset will be an interesting alternative and by then we may even have a headset with better resolution 1080 p to each eye would probably be a reasonable goal . But even in a best case scenario , it won ' t happen until next fall at the earliest . For now and probably the next 12 months or so , I really think PS VR is the only game in town to get a quality VR experience at a reasonable price with a minimum of effort .
