The gaming consoles Xbox and PlayStation have been selling on the market for awhile now bought happened extremely well in their product line. Both consoles have also outsold their previous generations making them consecutive successes. However with the impending arrival of virtual reality one of these consoles may kill each other. If one console releases the next-generation gaming and the other arrived too late it may just be too late for the latter to get back into the game.

PlayStation has always been open about it are gravels and doesn’t necessarily post about its impressive outselling tactics against the GameCube the Xbox and the Nintendo 64 which it’s very quickly brought to its knees on the release of the PlayStation(s).
Xbox on the other hand has always done well even though it has been beaten it has never given up and their products I somewhat just as good as Sony with the variety of Games available on the market. Under new leadership American console has developed innovative ways to stay in the market and has put their fans at the forefront of their technology creating an immersive social network and also implementing backward compatibility something which the PlayStation four did not have.

For now another things are going in the right direction for the Xbox but damage has been done already and that is a damage from a console which has been going at fifth gear right from its acceleration. PlayStation4 also appears to put its products first before its fans like backward compatibility and that inability to change their PlayStation names. What really matters is that all the big games always appear to be on the Xbox, Those games which are more successful or have equivalent success on the PlayStation. That might be down to the fact the Microsoft is a more experienced broader technological company in terms of hardware and software however it doesn’t stop the PlayStation success as the PlayStation is a pioneer in the gaming environment itself

Microsoft is gearing up to provide more titles on its console next year to bolster sales but this contradict what will happen when the PlayStation Virtual reality headset falls out. VR is a divisive subject, a tech that many have a deep-seated antipathy towards, but one that also has many championing its impending arrival as a true game changer. The success of VR — whether it be Sony’s product or Oculus or whoever — depends on a lot of things, there are a lot of factors at play that will determine its fate one way or the other. But if PlayStation VR is even remotely successful then it will be just another reason to buy PlayStation and not Xbox.

The difference between PSVR and the Oculus Rift can be found in every hardware manufacturer’s best marketing word: exclusivity.

The PlayStationVR, as its name implies, Will only work on the sonic console the PlayStation4. But Oculus isn’t the same.

The Rift is a product owned by Facebook that works across various platforms, mainly for high end PC’s but also compatible with Xbox by way of streaming. Any success the Oculus Rift may have will therefore inevitably be split amongst benefactors. PlayStation on the other hand are focused on providing content I’m games for the virtual reality headset. Because of PlayStation’s exclusivity office on products Games are more likely to work very well and satisfactorily than using the oculus rift which although can work on a broad variety of computers evidently problems will rise certainly crashes in software as it so happened to be often went a new type of the operating system is released. More experienced Computer users would always note that they would not purchase a new operating system immediately until after a few months when the software has become less buggy.

PlayStation if it takes off, And it takes off like a rocket Will be expecting a huge surge in sales and the standards will be set immediately that the other console manufacturers Will do indeed need to exceed rather than matching performance.

If the PlayStation Virtual reality headset does take off, We will expect the best lines of games to be produced on the PlayStation. Even more, They manufactures we’ll be more inclined to produce schemes in virtual reality band for other consoles. Similar way in how Apple was able to convince more developers to produce software for its platform upon its success. Microsoft has also decided to release an augmented reality goggle device. That’s on the other hand already appears to be more inferior than the PlayStation product simply because it is not Real virtual reality.

We will all know if the PlayStation Virtual reality headset is a success. We simply need to see if the consoles of sell-out rapidly and if Sony starts to happen problems trying to keep up with demand. If that’s the case Sony’s market share value will also increase and we may even see a trend like the car manufacturer Tesla if this demand continues.

There are a lot of ‘what if’s’ and ‘imagine a world where’ in all of this, I know that.

The gap for Microsoft is already vast can they afford to let it get wider still? Can they actually do anything about it now? Have game is already made the mind up to purchase the virtual reality headset next year or will they wait? Some have already probably decided that this is what they will be buying for Christmas, in me even be the number one selling toy/product by Christmas 2016.
This also depends on the cost/price of the PlayStation Virtual reality headset. At the moment there are conflicting reports I’m the exact pricing after virtual reality headset. But from the information that we can gather the headset will support more advanced displays but it’s processing power make ultimately come from the PlayStation4. That would suggest that we could be looking at an equal price as a game console at around about £300-£400 mark. Take note that if the price is higher some gamers will still intend to purchase it because of its unique and rare product line on the market. Even a higher price may not affect sales because of the immersive experience may just give way all companies marketing companies want. “Buy this item now before it sells out or you will be disappointed”

We did have the same problem with the Sony PlayStation 4 during its first release when the product line sold out and began to sell online at ridiculous prices until demand fell. This however may suffer from the same problem with restrictions to consumers provided we know the quantity of units that will be available in the market. Furthermore, sales may exceed the PlayStation 4 because this product is intended to work on one person and not a group, although you can play to play games via the TV and the virtual reality headset but in most cases experience will only be better if all players are using their own virtual reality headsets.

Will VR be the product that settles things once and for all? We will have to wait and see. Interesting times lie ahead, for that there is no doubt.

Until those times arrive however, Xbox better win 2015’s remaining two months. That is if they’ll have any chance at all.
