Well, I think this requires brain. 
And, while I said I’d wait for the reviews, Wags statement and various hands on videos convinced me that the S in fact is a step up from the OG Rift, and that it is the headset for me, this year. Next year may be another matter, but getting a higher spec’ed headset may also trigger at least a 2080 TI upgrade. Quite possibly a new CPU as well.
So, I think that I’d rather fly around with a small increase in picture clarity, sans external sensors, and keep the detail level where it is today, instead of getting a headset with a much better picture, just to realize my PC needs an upgrade.
So, it’s not about…
Not entirely, at least.
Depends on what you mean about platform loyalty.
If you mean, ‘Oculus made me invest heavily in their store, and all I have is non WMR compatible games’ that’s not the case either. I have learned from my Iphone/Ipad experience. I mainly play flightsims. Just have a couple of games that I bought on the Oculus store.
It’s not that I’m a huge devoted Facebook fan, either. Nor do I secretly admire MZ, although I’d trade bank accounts with the guy, any day.
It’s more about wanting a new headset today and I still can’t order a Samsung O+, over here. Actually, that’s not entirely true. There is a store that sell the O+ in Norway. Current price is equal to $1100.
But I am pretty happy with what Oculus delivered 3y ago.
