It needs to either become a generic commodity like a TV, or it will die.

We can't have this fragmented system. Imagine if you needed a Sony TV for PS, one for Xbox, one for PC, a standalone one that could run it's own exclusive content...

It's good tech, and the immersion is unparalleled, but greedy company are going to burn it to the ground it so they can rule the ashes.

It's fucking madness that you can't even use it to watch 3D movies on Netflix etc. There needs to be a generic box that accepts USB or HDMI input from all devices so you can at least use it for things other than gaming, even if it just puts it all in a big virtual screen.

Yep. The Corporate demand for siloed ecosystems is self-defeating. There are other examples of the same paradigm with VHS v Beta, DVD Audio vs SACD, Dvd vs LaserDisc etc.

Frankly, I don't really care if the tech dies- the companies that "support" it are too flimsy to be counted on as going-concerns, they're just fighting their own downward spirals.
