We don't know the price of the Rift, so let's speculate a little bit. The RIFT - $350-450 Oculus Touch - $120-170 Additional Oculus IR Camera for Oculus Touch - $80-110 What do we have here.. $350(450) Rift + $120(170) Oculus Touch + $80(110) Oculus IR Camera = $550(Minimal) and $730(Maximum) price for complete bundle. So, OculusVR selling controllers separetily to make the Rift price 350-450, as they promised at Kickstarter? But if you want full expirience, you need controllers and one more IR camera. And in total you must pay at least $550 ($730).. Don't you think it's unfair? The Vive price will be higher then the Rift ($500-700). But in the box you have 2 lighthouse stations and 2 wireless controllers. So it's almost the same price, Rift complete bundle about $550-750 and Vive about $600-800.. The conclusion here: HTC/Valve is more open and fair with us, than OculusVR.
The CV1 will not be over $400. Period. I don't care to meet the burden of proof.
Oculus has stated time and time again what their price target is, and now they can afford to cut it even further to get them into the hands of more consumers. Personally I don't believe the Vive will be all that expensive either, even with the tracking system.
