By the time it comes to market, there will be at least 2 more in the market better than them (StarVR & FoveVR) for a total of 4 on the market by launch time likely. Not to mention some other Mobile options from Apple and LG.
And speaking of quality, it is no better than a GearVR.

Sony has blundered this from the start. They had said they were in the VR space when the Rift came around the corner, but really, they were in the stereoscopic 3D space and that was very pricey.

They would have been much better off making a VR HMD for a PC and then creating a new Playstation that worked with it.
Dev's need to make the software work at 90 fps effective rate to prevent lag and motion sickness. A bit of a challenge for what you are working with. A lot of extra work for a DEV and many will be moving on to mobile and PC VR.

I use to like Sony a lot. But they just don't have what it takes any more. The whole PlayStation ECO-System is at risk here.

I give them till summer 2017 before the real data hits their stock hard.
