Oculus founder critisize and praise the VB

He’s obviously saying that to make the Rift appear better. Wasn’t VB criticized for being too expensive? The Rift costs even more and it requires a powerful computer to run. Sure, it is an impressive achievement but far from perfect.

We have a good thread about it:

He has probably been asked about or heard comparisions to the VB more than we could imagine. At this point it sounds like he is just sick of explaining that the Nintendo Virtual Boy wasn’t and isn’t “VR”.

The Rift is still incredibly interesting, as are all VR headsets. I could care less what his personal views or PR team has to say. It comes down to how I feel about the experience. What I don’t like is the $1,500+ price estimation being tossed around.

I think it’s fate might be that cheaper but similar devices catch on while the innovative rift fades into the annals of history due to being priced out of the market.
