> Every promised April order is set to ship in April. Some people thought it meant April 5th, which was incorrect. Comparing that to a multi-month delay from the Oculus people is asinine.

> Physician, heal thyself. The disigenious damage control you're doing for Oculus is a perfect example of that very thing you're criticizing.

I think it's silly to proclaim either platform as the "winner" when 1. the Oculus hasn't even been out for a full month yet and 2. the Vive isn't even done shipping it's first promised batch.

I'd probably buy a Vive now if I were to choose today, but I also think one month out, there's zero need to defend (or criticize the viability of) either platform. It's simply too new.




> I think it's silly to proclaim either platform as the "winner"

I do not see anyone saying either is the outright winner.

I said the Oculus is behind. The Tested review said about the same thing as you are, which is if you could choose just one right now to use for the next 12 months, use the Vive [1]

> one month out, there's zero need to defend (or criticize the viability of) either platform

Tons of consumers want reviews of each system so they can make a judgement of which one to buy. Reasonable people want to see both products succeed and provide competition to each other.
