Masahiro Sakurai has got his hands on Oculus Rift, the new virtual reality head-mounted display – and he’s a fan. Sakurai is positive “it’ll be a hit in the near future.”
“I experienced the ‘Oculus Rift’ VR goggles. You’d have to experience it for yourself to understand, so I won’t say much here, but I’m certain it’ll be a hit in the near future. This, too, is a difference in [the nature of] media.”
Sakurai’s Oculus Rift comments come from the latest issue of Famitsu. In the magazine, Sakurai also mentioned that he likes seeing differences in consoles:
“Having a difference between consoles based on unique features is more fun. Rather than having technology converge as it becomes more advanced, I’d rather have things broaden and spread out for a market with many stimulating choices.”
