Microsoft Exec On VR Gaming: “We Learned Our Lessons From Kinect”
Microsoft will soon be launching their Mixed Reality headsets (a combination of Virtual Reality Augmented Reality tech) and with it a free to play Halo experience. However, they have made it clear that VR isn’t their main focus as of now since there seems to be a lot left to do before VR gaming becomes a viable experience.
Speaking on the subject, Albert Penello, senior director of product management and planning at Microsoft stated that, “We learned with Kinect and the Wii that just translating a typical game experience to VR is not a winning strategy. It’s the oddball VR-specific stuff that makes it sing. It wasn’t something we wanted to distract developers with this year.”
As of now, Microsoft’s main focus is simply to bring the best technology possible to their fans, and to also allow fans to play beloved classics on their consoles.

PlayStation has done some cool things with it. But it can't compare to what pc is getting. Microsoft might be better off getting the tech up to spec.

It is similar to Kinect in ways i think they have just realised that that's not what people see gaming as yeah its cool and all but personally i think it should be classed as Simulation and not Gaming.

Me, personally am not a VR fan so i hope they just put all their focus on these 4k specs to bring out the best gaming experience they can.
