Comments on: Oculus Rift Facing more and more Competition from New Entries on the Market! https://masterherald.com/oculus-rift-facing-more-and-more-competition-from-new-entries-on-the-market/31582/ Mon, 30 Nov 2015 10:54:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: CrashFu https://masterherald.com/oculus-rift-facing-more-and-more-competition-from-new-entries-on-the-market/31582/#comment-156405 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 05:56:55 +0000 http://masterherald.com/?p=31582#comment-156405 Saying that Oculus is “competing” with the other VR hardware producers is a little misleading; These companies have actually been going out of their way to share tech and help each other develop better hardware, because the more people who catch on to VR and the more impressive it all is when it first hits the consumer market, the more they ALL win. Presumably, in the end they will each target completely different markets and focus on different needs or specialized applications.

Any REAL competition won’t start until after the technology has reached wide-scale adoption (and Facebook is poised to capitalize on it whether you’re using an Oculus or someone else’s HMD)

Samsung has built the hardware, working hand-in-hand with OculusVR, and OculusVR has developed the software which drives the entire process; and every User enters through the Oculus Store for all of their purchases of software, just as all of the Oculus Rift owners will. And this Oculus Store for both the Gear VR and the Oculus Rift, is where OculusVR will finally start making money off of all of their hardware and software designs. So the Gear VR is like the untethered version of an Oculus Rift; and OculusVR is making more money on every unit sold than Samsung is, due the software sales in the Oculus Store. Will Hart
