DrChocolate 5 hours ago#1 Released before the technology was perfected at a high price...who the hell takes those decisions on these companies? Looks like they just hire directors who just have Ivy league school degrees and experience in completely unrelated fields such as cereals, poop transport and enchiladas.... people don't feel that the drop of resolution for 3D and VR is worth it, besides in 3D you have to wear uncomfortable glasses, lots of flickering and bad angles, the new 3ds is the only barelly acceptable form of 3D comercially released so far. for VR besides the resolution drop it is very very expensive and only some games fully support it, regular games should at least allow you to look arround like if you were a lakitu in super mario 64. both 3D and VR could have been huge, but the idiots who run the busuness seem to be desperate for quick cash instead of something that could have given them more money in te end. They just release the technologies before they are fully ready, comfortable and posible to be produced at a good price (edited 5 hours ago)quote

They currently are if they wanted to maximize profits they would have held it off until later its extremely basic stuff and you see it in other products. Self driving cars and countless other products are being held back until there cheap and safe enough to build a proper base. VR is too expensive and hard to market they released it too high and too early only a few people own it which isn't enough for any developer to really take is seriously. Such a small base isn't enticing and even a small issue is overblown as it spreads through the small community. Instead of a future blossum its a wilting flower and that will also harm future investments and stiffles growth even Microsoft decided not to invest in VR with their X and so will other companies.  In the long run its better to wait till you can get the product safely in the hands of as many people as possible than to jump the gun. 3d on the other hand was fine it was given in mass with 3d theaters and even teh 3ds was released rather cheaply.

riddlebox89 28 minutes ago#42 tripZ504 posted... kislev posted... If it was cheaper it would be a huge success How so? Simple really, lower the price tag and more people will buy the product, sure you'll make less money on individual sales, but you'd make more in the long run as you'd have more people buying it with a lower price tag than you would if it had a higher price tag. 95_Eclipse posted... On a serious note, anyone who's played on one of the VR headsets knows its the way of the future. You know, people said the same thing about motion controls, 3D and digital distribution. How well did those work out? Motion controls are a fad and the only company that still commonly puts them in games is Nintendo. 3D was a bust, the only thing that still does it is the 3DS. Physical copies are still going strong and not going anywhere anytime soon and the one attempt at a digital only gaming system (PSPGo) was a failure, and what would've been the second attempt (XBone) was met with overwhelming negative criticism to the point where the decision to make it all digital was scrapped entirely. People on gamefaqs who say "It's the way of the future!" don't have a very good track record. I am a dedicated member of the "Walter Sullivan Is Bad-Ass" group!!! I am the true originator of the Cookie Demon theory on the SH2 and 3 boards. quote
