    Consoles will be the home of VR and 4K.  ;)

    The irony is they are not real 4k :P

    The PS is the most economical entry to VR Gaming. That's the long and short of it.

    And everything in that thread pretty much sums up what you can expect from Superdata.  Estimate sales are often wrong, especially from Superdata.

    Agree.

    And in case anyone can't be bothered checking the link this new Superdata "note" basically say "our last estimate was wrong" - again. And yes these "sales numbers" are not actual sales they are "estimated sales".

    PS4 Pro does have Native 4K games out now and more coming. Not all of them will be Native 4K but even the ones that uses Sony's Checkerboard Upscaling Technique has already been confirmed to be very close to Native quality.

    Also next year things get even better with Project Scorpio.  :)

    I hope not. The last thing i want is to get less console classic RPGs in favor of more VR games.

    There are very very few games in 4K on console. Consoles, even the PS4 pro just do not compare to modern day PCs. The irony is that the ones in 4k (which are usually not in true 4k, but upscaled to 4k) are games that have a great PC version that would be better in 4k anyways.

    It is a pricing thing. A PS + VR is far cheaper then a PC + VR system. I am sure even more people have gotten those Samsung cardboard thingies.

    Anyways, initially more console players will have VR then PC players but  the price for PC VR will go down and a gaming PC is way more powerful then a console so how the market will look a few years from now is impossible to tell. 

    Lower prices, new technology and better games is what will increase the VR. Currently a few good car and flight sims would help a lot (well, and porn of course) but in the future the possibilities are almost endless.

    That future is a few years back but just a grand turismo VR game would sell loads of VR sets.
