Om bare få uger lancerer Microsoft Xbox One X, og selvom Microsoft og Sony er ganske sammenlignelige i forhold til deres målsætninger, så er der én stor forskel - Sony har lanceret deres eget dedikerede VR-headset, og Microsoft har stort set ikke rørt teknologien eller markedet.
I et nyt interview med Wired fortæller Microsofts Albert Penello, at de ikke ønskede at "distrahere" de udviklere der arbejder på Xbox-indhold med VR i år.
"There's still a tonne of experimentation in VR. That's not designed to be a backhanded statement. There are obviously consumer products. Moving the problem into the display of your goggles versus the limits of the TV was a result of some of the 3D TV challenges. But VR has so much potential. Is it a viable consumer product? For a certain size of audience.
We learned with Kinect and the Wii that just translating a typical game experience to VR is not a winning strategy. It's the oddball VR-specific stuff that makes it sing. It wasn't something we wanted to distract developers with this year."
Er du enig? Har Microsoft ret i at vente?
