"VR hardware of Gu Ge analyses square investigation to show according to data, 5 years product sales volume exceeds 14 million extremely likely, become the puissant competitor of Oculus and HTC.

Gamelook reports / after the intention that announced to enter VR field through Daydream hardware first May, gu Ge disclosed Daydream View helmet last week eventually, and will be worn on November. If what say at that time, of Gu Ge sharing a possibility is this year the event with VR very main field, those who occupy SuperData forecast, the sales volume hopeful this year exceeds Daydream 450 thousand, break up next year 3 times to 1.5 million, achieve 14 million above to 2020.

Stephanie Llamas of SuperData survey chief inspector says, consumer people the ’ on the one-time equipment that does not hope wasteful capital is regarded to be strange thing by people in ‘ , the Cardboard that releases before Gu Ge namely. On the other hand, the mobile VR with higher price, for instance Daydream and Gear VR are having better prospect, this company thinks sales volume hopeful exceeds SamSung Gear VR this year 2.3 million, llamas says, “ content needs to be digested very easily, core game does not suit make it to pay cost hand to swim, " candied legend " in the hand You Ping stage can attract many recreational player, development business also should consult when doing content for mobile VR platform relatively recreational content. ”

High-end VR, for instance Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PSVR also can greet his height, actually SuperData forecasts PSVR to will make the virtual reality equipment with highest this year sales volume, 2.6 million are achieved in holiday season sales volume; Vive predicts to be about the same with Rift sales volume, it is respectively about 420 thousand with 355 thousand.

Llamas says, “ is important is, as the fall of the price, oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PSVR can draw more and more people, systematic device also will unlimited (very distant still nevertheless) , and hardware configures a requirement also so won't tall. Notable is, at present Oculus, Vive and PSVR are the purchaser of game content, so if according to same way, we can discover mobile VR is having bigger user group, resemble Steam platform, among them profit potential depends on a lot of people investing the capital of very few quantity, and what unlike core player throws is so much. ”

Because current installation capacity is very finite, so to developer people, dedicated the risk at high-end VR is bigger apparently, stem from this kind of reason, llamas says, “ is very much 3A developer people in the ichnography form game that just adds VR content simply to them, feel to leave VR user close so. VR is not a market that has been proved, and profit margin is extremely low, real VR play is nonexistent still even, beginning from mobile VR so is begin well. ”

Not only such, also admit even the SamSung of Gear VR manufacturer with at present highest sales volume, they took government-owned net attitude to VR hardware now, need to be measured seriously before throwing alone helmet with all one's strength, samSung president holds Yong Sohn of presiding and politic official concurrently to say, is “VR temporarily modern after all be still the mainstream? The answer that I had done not have inside a few days can offer you. ”
