Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick isn’t a big fan of virtual reality (VR). Speaking at the Cowen and Company Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, Zelnick said VR is too expensive and takes up too much room.
“It’s way too expensive right now,” he said. “There is no market for a $2000 entertainment device that requires you to dedicate a room to the activity. I don’t know what people could be thinking. Maybe some of the people in this room have a room to dedicate to an entertainment activity, but back here in the real world? That’s not what we have in America.”
He wasn’t done criticising it there.
“We have like $300 to spend on an entertainment device and we do not have a dedicated room. We have a room for a screen, a couch, and controllers,” he added. “We don’t have something where you stand in a big open space and hold two controllers with something on your head–and not crash into the coffee table. We don’t have that.”
Do you agree with Zelnick’s summary of VR? Why or why not?
