Alienware: VR rigs will be as game-changing, popular as the Nintendo Wii

Alienware PC Development and Planning Manager, Joe Olmsted, has told Engadget that VR rigs will be to 2016 what the Nintendo Wii was to 2006.

“I don’t know if you remember but ten years ago it was hard to get a Wii, and yet everyone wanted one, everyone wanted to play it, everyone wanted to do tennis and bowling,” Olmsted said.

“So we had one, we just lugged it around in a bag and went from place to place to place, you know, be wherever our buddies were at on a Friday night. With VR, I can see that happening. I certainly do it myself.”

What do you make of the PC developer’s hot take?
