I think gaffers jumping on this chance to criticize Phil for this statement haven't really been a thinking things through and taken a moment to consider the different market positions of Xbox and Playstation. Imagine, for a moment, that you're Phil.
You are a force of nature. A storm that plows through the field. An eagle stalking its prey. A fearless lion tearing through the jungle. Covering up such a chiselled chin and confident gaze with an HMD would be a crime against humanity unless it's done for the fullest and richest of gaming experiences. And us Xbox gamers are the same. We lead busy and interesting lives. We live in the moment. Could you imagine, after a night out with your bros, after all those tequila shots you lined up this hot chick with, letting her wait for even a minute? "Sorry babe, I'll be with you in a moment. I just gotta pretend I'm Batman for a minute. Just have to make sure Hikari-chan does her English homework" Fuck.That.Shit. Not happening.
Meanwhile, consider the Playstation fan. You have every reason to want to escape your basement and visit a virtual world. The headset being wired isn't going to be an issue. Like you were gonna get up from your couch any more often than every couple of hours to go to the fridge for a few pizza slices. The headset covering up your face is a feature, not a bug. This way you won't need to have a sob every time you happen to catch your reflection in your grimy bathroom mirror. Plystation know their fans. The PSVR is a product for the most loyal of Playstation fans, and through the Vita, they have a very good idea of the tastes of the most rabid of Playstation fans. They know that Summer Lesson will be the closest a women has let you since your mother reluctantly breastfed you. This is why they developed the game and made sure to have it ready for launch
(I didn't include PC players in my analysis, because at less than a million sold, the PC headsets aren't really a factor.)
