    HTC + Valve vs Samsung + Oculus. Interesting parity there.
     
    Makes me wonder about Nokia + Microsoft's odd man out entry. Guessing it'll be something derived from HoloLens. And then we're already seeing whispers from Apple. The Apple + Apple VR headset will probably be all style and no substance. That's gotta be better than a Nokia + Microsoft which would be no style and no substance.

    I don't have any feelings toward HTC, or Occulus (never owned a HTC), but I love Valve and Samsung. It makes it hard to choose what platform to go if they have similar performance.
     
    So if Nokia+Microsoft=no style, no substance, and Apple+Apple VR=all style, no substance. What does that leave Nvidia titan VR? No style and all substance? All style and all substance, for only Nvidia supportes items/games?
