Is HTC Vive the best VR head-mounted display?

This is Nakauchi from the technical sales department.

2016 is said to be the first year of VR

VR head-mounted displays Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR , but
personally I'm interested in HTC Vive

What is HTC Vive?

HTC Vive

This is a head-mounted display for VR sold by HTC, a Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer

Release date: April 5, 2016

Price: ¥111,999 (Japan price)

Machine PC

15,000 orders received within 10 minutes of preorders opening

Pre-orders for the HTC Vive began on March 1st (Japan time), and 15,000 units were reserved in just 10 minutes

The April shipment is sold out, and current reservations will ship in May

I think the popularity so far is partly due to its specs

Vive's positional tracking uses two laser-emitting base stations placed in the corners of the room you play in. The base stations emit coded signals that are received by sensors in the headset and controllers to determine your location. This system allows you to enjoy room-scale VR experiences right out of the box .

Reference: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR: Which one should you choose for virtual reality play?

Valve is a strong backbone of joint development

was developed in collaboration with HTC and the American gaming company Valve

Valve also operates Steam

Steam has over 100 million users, with peak concurrent connections exceeding 10 million

thoughts

By the way, PS4 sales have reached 35.9 million units, while Xbox One sales have reached 13 million units, meaning that
even if the combined sales figures of PS4 and Xbox One are combined, they still cannot compete with Steam, which has 100 million users.

Even if I don't have a console at home, I do have a PC

So I think that HTC Vive will be the next big thing
