The Oculus Rift (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/oculus-rift) has captured a fair amount of attention for its ability to helpimmerse its users (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/14/project-holodeck-puts-you-inside-a-virtual-zombie-apocalypse/) in fictional worlds, but it seems that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners won't be part of its audience.
"Consoles are too limited for what we want to do," Oculus Rift inventor Palmer Luckey told TechRadar (http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/oculus-rift-creator-xbox-one-and-ps4-are-far-too-limited-for-what-we-re-planning-1198420). "We're trying to make the best virtual reality device in the world and we want to continue to innovate and upgrade every year - continue making progress internally - and whenever we make big jumps we want to push that to the public."
There is currently a single model of the device planned for consumers (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/01/one-oculus-rift-for-consumers-will-tether-to-pc-and-android/) that will be compatible with Android devices and PCs. The device's parent company, Oculus VR, recently recruited (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/07/carmack-joins-oculus-vr-as-chief-technology-officer/) Doom (http://joystiq.com/tag/doom)programmer John Carmack as its Chief Technology Officer and is planning to release the Oculus Rift sometime next year.
