Headset Price
One of the biggest advantages is also the most obvious. The Oculus Rift comes in at a hefty $599, but that seems modest when compared to the HTC Vive. The Vive costs $799, the price of two new consoles. After much speculation, Sony finally revealed the price of the PSVR and it was much lower than anticipated.
At $399, the PSVR matches the price of a brand new PS4, but also undercuts the next cheapest headset by $200. This isn’t the first time that the company has edged out the competition on price, as the PS4 beat out the Xbox One by $100 helping to secure a lead.
While it is true that graphics and power are very important when choosing new technology, price will let a lot of people try it out without completely breaking the bank. Both the Rift and Vive win out specs wise, but they come at a large premium, giving the PSVR a nice advantage.
