If you aren't going to count one side of a hybrid game it should be the inferior flat one.

Huh? Inferior flat version? Hitman VR and Skyrim VR? Did you reply to the wrong post or something?

But you never said that with your first response

Ah yes, it's my fault that YOU jumped into the middle of a debate without reading the context. How dastardly and callous of me.

Seemed like you had an issue with hybrid games. Although re-reading now, maybe not.

Otherwise why make the headset in the first place?

Why make Vita in the first place? Why make PS Move in the first place? Why make PSP GO in the first place? Why make Eye toy in the first place?
Some devices simply do not earn their upkeep, and Sony is notoriously fast when it comes to pulling the plug on those.
Speaking of Vita, it sold 500k units in its first week, and we all know how the story went from there.
You know what other, new Sony device sold almost half of that in its first month?

But yes, there's too much money to be made in VR for no one to take up those spots.

Except the spot is already taken by Oculus, and even they dropped the AAA exclusivity deals, because they're just not profitable, even with userbase of 20mil.

- Vita: It's obvious that Sony lost their heart in Vita super early and during that timeframe were going through a transition phase and the Vita couldn't play a roll in PS going forward.
- PS Move: I'd argue they supported the PS Move as best they could. It was used in the PSVR for god's sake.
- PSP Go: That's just the PSP in a different form factor. And they supported the PSP very well.
- EyeToy: To me they supported the EyeToy for about as good as you could given that technology. It worked. It even indirectly lead to PSVR 1.

It definitely is. You said AAA games and even argued that point instead of "killer app." There's a big difference there.

This person......unlike Eddie gets it. The bolded is so true.

1000%! I think that's been the biggest issue with VR games, they almost feel like tech demos and experiences rather than full fledged games. So, I'd expect the few but full fledged titles to get the most attention, straight up.
