Analysis from data tracker GfK has revealed that the PlayStation VR is set set to overtake the combines sales of both Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive in the UK. While no official sales figures have been revealed, the findings aren’t surprising – the PlayStation VR headset is the cheapest VR device of the three, and doesn’t require high-spec hardware to work.
Sony’s PlayStation VR headset will be available in October 2016 for a price of $399 / £349, but how does it stack up to the main competitors: Oculus Rift and HTC Vive? PlayStation Executive VP Masayasu Ito has already stated that Oculus Rift is better if you’re looking for high-end quality, but we’ve compared all the details to give you a better idea of how they all compare.
Earlier this month, it was announced that the Oculus Rift would cost £499 in the UK, which lead to speculation on pricing for Sony’s PlayStation VR headset. Today, Swiss retailer Microspot has listed the PlayStation VR for 498 Swiss francs, which is roughly around €455 or £350.
