I'm considering your point...

...is a failed innovation and innovation?   like yes VR is cool in moments but overall the experiences are broken, inconsistent, incomplete.  

I haven't played my VR headset in years now so I'm back to just playing psWii60 era games.   



call it a draw?   half point each?

all i know is that i'm exceedingly unlikely to be tempted to buy an xbox with their new direction.   i'm going to stick with playstation for now and if i decide to leave that platform i'll go full PC instead of "curated" PC.   i'm not going to spent $1500 on a device that can do less stuff than a $1500 device that can do more stuff.

And of course now it's back to fanboy defences  :P

"Well ps5 is just a pc with a playstation logo"

"You do know ps5 runs linux right? This is that"

"Just pro consumer, free multiplayer and steam games!?!?"

Yup.

I guess I probably played Halo 2 online, but all I can remember for sure is having to buy the extra disc when the new maps came out. PS360 was when everything changed.
