Sony Worldwide Studios chief Shuhei Yoshida has been very open about Sony's mass-market and wallet-friendly aspirations, while Playstation Executive VP Masayasu Ito said that while Oculus's headset produces a higher quality of VR, it requires a specialist gaming PC that comes at a much higher price than the PS4. The price may surprise some, but PlayStation chiefs have long been upfront about where PS VR sits in the grand scheme of virtual-reality things.

PS VR has more than 160 games in development and will squeeze 50 out before the end of the year, including Ubisoft's Eagle Flight, Guerrilla Games' RIGS and Sony's own VR Worlds, incorporating The London Heist, The Deep and Street Luge demos , which compares favourably to Oculus's 30-title launch haul. developed specially for PS VR, including The London Heist, VR Luge.

Originally slated for the 'first half of 2016', the release of the peripheral formerly known as Project Morpheus has been shifted back presumably because a) the PS4 is still selling very well on its own, thank you very much, b) more time was needed to polish up the games, and c) summer isn't the best time to try and get people to shun the sun and hide behind a headset. War Thunder is a free to play MMO that has a cross action between aircraft. It also powers the Cinematic mode, which lets PS VR act as a personal movie viewer, showing off cinema-sized films and 360-degree photos on a 225-inch virtual screen, just two and a half metres from your face. The headset also comes bundled with stereo headphones and a processor unit, which mirrors the VR output on your big telly for others to interact with/laugh at.
