Sony has several price advantage. A single screen, even if it does have custom pixel placements. They make their own optics and are masters at it. They are a much larger company that can handle production required and a much lower cost.oh for sure,.. sony will actually sell it at cost too unlike OR which needs to make up the R&D on hardware in the cost of hardware since they are a PC device where royalties don't apply. and OR needs to bundle all the accessories too because unlike sony the other parts of the set-up aren't 100% known to exist.
i still think a $300 (nothing but the headset) and $350 (headset, plus camera) bundles aren't too far fetched. we'll see but i already have a camera and 2 move controllers and a nav controller. if just the headset is $300 i'll probably bite but that includes like $200 of hardware i already purchased.
