> They should have kicked ass on product. Instead they got caught with their pants down at the Vive announcement.
Amusing how everyone seems to think that Vive will be the best product on earth while Oculus will be "just Oculus", "not kick ass", "not great" etc. with nobody having either one so far. The power of "We love Valve" vs "We hate Facebook" seems to be really interesting from a PR/Marketing perspective.
I have a Vive and I've tried Oculus CV1. They are very, very, similar. 90hz, 1200x1080 per eye, low persistence OLED with global update, large fresnel lenses.
Until you get to input and mobility: Xbox gamepad vs motion controls. No contest. Yoga-mat scale standing without full rotation vs. room scale, walking around with 360 rotation: again, no contest.
Oculus wins on weight so far, though I haven't tried the Vive Pre yet.
