Sony admits Oculus Rift is technically better than PlayStation VR

With Oculus, HTC, Samsung and Sony all set to take on one another in the battle for virtual reality dominance, it’s obvious that consumers will assess the strengths and weaknesses of each product. Take into account what they need to run: both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive require high-end gaming PCs, Sony’s only needs the modestly powerful PlayStation 4, while the Gear VR just asks for a compatible smartphone. It’s perhaps best, then, that the executives behind the headsets are honest about what their products are capable of. That’s the approach from PlayStation executive vice president Masayasu Ito, who admitted in a recent interview with Polygon that the PlayStation VR will not match the VR quality of the Oculus Rift.
