Of the three big console manufacturers, only Sony is betting on virtual reality and is quite successful with PlayStation VR, at least more successful than Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Nintendo and Microsoft do not have their own VR products for their consoles.
However, since Microsoft is betting on Windows Mixed Reality, the leap to Xbox One is actually not far away, is it? Nevertheless, the Redmond company has announced at the E3 2018 in Los Angeles confirmed that there are no plans for Xbox VR for the time being. "We don't have any specific plans for Xbox consoles when it comes to virtual reality or mixed reality," Mike Nichols said, Chief Marketing Officer for Gaming at Microsoft.
"Our perspective was and is that the PC is probably the best platform for immersive VR and MR. As an open platform, it simply allows for faster iteration," Mike Nichols continues. Microsoft is thus leaving the field to Sony's competition for the time being. But who knows, with the next console generation things could change again.
