As an old gamer, VR somehow has woke up my ''gaming instincts'' again.
So PSVR.
So PSVR.
After this latest E3 showing, I am certainly interested in both Playstation VR and Nintendo Switch. However, I don't feel as if I know enough to decide between the two, and I certainly can't afford both. Currently, I have a standard PS4, and the VR games look very interesting. However, I don't want to spend $500 on a VR setup that very well could be replaced by a PSVR 2 within a year or two. The Nintendo Switch games also seem to be interesting to me, especially the new Mario game. Some of the durability issues have me worried. I don't want to buy an expensive device which can be so easily destroyed by the shroud that the company provides.
So far, I have just given some of my impressions, but my questions are thus:
For PSVR, do I need to buy the PS4 Pro to enjoy the games? Also, will it become obsolete in short order? Am I better off to wait for the inevitable PSVR2? Is using PSVR worth the $500 price, or are the games not there to justify the hardware, unless you're an extreme VR lover?
For the Switch: Is the hardware prone to being easily damaged? Are the Switch games going to be so spectacular that I should invest in the system, instead of just adding on a VR setup? Naturally, it's an easier sell to just buy an add on to the PS4, even if the cost is greater initially. Obviously, once you factor in the controllers and accoutrements, the prices will start to get closer.
Overall, I feel a bit confused with regards to the sales pitches for these new systems, Xbox One X included. I love all of the game trailers, particularly for games like God of War or Super Mario. But I'm still not sure of what benefits the new hardware provides.
Any help that you can give me to help clarify these issues is most appreciated.

PSVR and just VR in general is still in its infancy.
VR is more interesting technology but the Switch is heavily supported.
That's the worst and the best part at the same time.
It's not exclusively negative
Yah. a gen 2 PSVR will be a more rounded product. But not the current one
I don't agree. Tracking is "good enough". It's not Vive-godlike and far from perfect (and truly unworkable in some setups, for whatever reason), but it's here to stay with this generation of console and headset.
And there's no reason for a slim-like redesign - Sony's engineers put out a headset that feels great to wear for extended periods, hence all the copy-cat designs appearing.
PS2 was also a more rounded product than PSone, but again the latter's infancy was ''the worst and the best part at the same time''.
you didn't really answer to what my post state.
theres always room for improvement like lighter or smaller headset
Play Thumper on Switch. Then play Thumper on PSVR.
You'd never touch the Switch again.
Over one game? Come on.
Over one game? Come on.
Over one game? Come on.
It's not about "one game". It's about how VR can elevate games to a level way beyond what's possible on a traditional display.Over one game? Come on.
VR is an amazing thing OP but the PSVR is the bottom of the barrel compared to the Vive and really even the Oculus. You're looking at an under supported add-on with a restricted install base vs Nintendo's new system.
Nintendo's new system is going to get you more must play software.

I think the Switch would give you access to more must play software.
