Add-on content is the low-risk way for developers to get into VR, but I don’t think they’ll be the key drivers of sales or interest.

The gaming console giant announced that its PlayStation VR headset will start shipping on 13 October 2016 for $399. Here I’ll look at the important VR-related announcements and their implications for the market.
