Sony to reveal PS4 Virtual Reality headset at TGS

[GameWinner]

Along with a showcase of over 50 Playstation titles (four new PS4 titles apparently), Sony is preparing to reveal the final piece of its PS4 hardware strategy at this year's Tokyo Game Show by showcasing a PlayStation-branded virtual reality head-mounted display.

It originally intended to reveal the headset at Gamescom but plans fell through at the eleventh hour. The company is currently weighing up whether the PS4 device should be pitched as a key differentiator for the console or a non-essential add-on.

The matter has been slightly complicated, but not derailed, by the growing industry support for Oculus Rift. Sony's device will be a categorical rival to Oculus, and for months there have been rumours suggesting the two companies are seeking a partnership.

Apparently, the device is being used by Evolution Studios who is currently working with the device to simulate a cockpit view on its PS4 title Drive Club.

So is this Occulus Rift the 2nd?

This seems to suggest there's a rift between Sony and Oculus.

I hope they make peace, but I'm afraid that's virtually impossible.

If PS4 lets me transform into this...

it will be an instant buy!

Back to form, eh?

I hope that they make this headset red and black only, so it attracts those old school hardcore players.

Oculus type thing for PS4 because Oculus said the Rift was PC exclusive?
