100% Correct – It’s coming to multiple platforms INCLUDING next-gen consoles.

People need to absorb this one simple concept – The Oculus is an AFTERMARKET PERIPHERAL that ultimately serves to generate more interest (money) for the consoles that support it and, conversely, disdain for ones which don’t.

I’m not too worried about anything I read here if the author doesn’t even concern himself with a basic understanding of the product. The first part of being a writer is reading.

They aren’t competing with Microsoft, Sony, or Valve.

1) They are WORKING WITH Valve to make Valve games compatible with the Rift. Valve has readied an Oculus Rift demo for the next GDC that will run Team Fortress 2.

2) They hope to integrate the Rift with video game consoles in the future.

3) The estimated cost is around $300. This is ridiculously cheap as comparable VR products range from 1,000 to above 10,000 dollars.

Ravi, I don’t think you understand that this is not a gaming platform. It is a peripheral.
