E3 2015: 12 Biggest Moments From Sony's PlayStation Conference

5. Sony Couldn't Figure Out A Way To Demo Project Morpheus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7_m9ZgwAsQ Incase you haven't heard, VR headsets are incredibly 'in' right now. Everyone from Samsung to Valve, Sony, Microsoft and more are getting stuck into the eyeball-ensnaring tech, although considering how brilliantly Microsoft managed to show off their Hololens by streaming what the wearer was seeing through the live cameras, Sony instead just essentially said "Take our word for it!" and strolled off. Their phrasing across the board made out as though the Morpheus will be an optional accessory (somewhat obviously), but in many ways that misses the point. Consumers want to be shown a particular game or experience they can't get anywhere else, as well as knowing that all the time invested in the PR of such a thing is going to pay off. Instead, Sony showed a couple of naff reel including such highlights as a football bouncing off the screen, before essentially confirming what naysayers were mentioning in the lead-up to the conference - they simply wouldn't be able to show it off effectively.
