Sony could bring the PlayStation VR experience to the PC

Sony's own PlayStation VR headset could eventually make its way to the PC. Sony Computer Entertainment's senior VP, Masayasu Ito, told Nikkei that making the headset compatible with the PC is a potential move for the company.

As translated by PC Gamer:

"Since PlayStation 4 shares a lot of its components with PCs, the possibility is there. At the moment we are focused on games and we are not ready to make any announcements at this stage, but I'd say there will be an expansion into various fields."

There's certainly space in the PCVR headset market for a mid-range, affordable option. Sony could well enter with the PlayStation VR and offer gamers access to the virtual reality realm without taking out a series of loans. VR is still considered by many to be the next leap for gaming, which makes any VR headset coming to the PC a very exciting prospect indeed.

For now, the headset is available for Sony's own video game console.
