"We are right now preparing for the launches of the major VR products," Raines told Fox News. "We're in discussions with Oculus, HTC, and Sony. It's a big launch, we're getting ready for it. We will launch the Sony product this fall and we are in discussions with the other two players."

Raines believes Sony has the better games as of this January.
“The more important thing will be the title count at launch," Raines told the ICR Conference. "I think that’s going to be big. And from what we can see at this point, Sony seems to have the strongest title count.”
