With the virtual reality market getting increasingly crowded, the news will come as a blow to their competitors in the hotly contested field, especially with the hardware’s expected low price of $399 in comparison to the likes of the recently launched Oculus Rift at $599.

However, the move is by no means a certainty, with Sony wishing to build up a solid foundation on PlayStation 4 before they think about expanding into other territories. There’s no doubt the bulk of VR content will make its home on PC though, and I’m sure Sony will be very keen to grab themselves a slice of that pie.
