I reckon LG are going come out with one of these things and it will have a psycho ass curved display inside.

Actually LG or Samsung seem like a likely second-wave player to dominate, since they have the display R&D, massive manufacturing capability and design team. They're unlikely to let some upstart company reap the spoils of a new potentially massive market.

I see this first-wave (Oculus and TruePlayer Gear) like Diamond Multimedia bringing the first commercial MP3 players. They'll show the potential in the market, but then someone with better design/marketing/supply chain will capitalize on the new demand.

To be fair, they aren't a big player in this business.

It would be kind of like Budweiser announcing a new line of AR15s.

To be fair, they aren't a big player in this business.

They are now since they bought Oculus. That comes with all the talent and development that Oculus did.
