Does anyone agree the Microsoft Hololens is taking forever to release?

Yeah they are taking a hot minute to release this beauty. Makes me wonder what the hell's taking so long. Anyone got the scoop on it's release? They released the Xbox One X so I assume it shouldn't be too far off.

RE: Does anyone agree the Microsoft Hololens is taking forever to release?

Spencer said in an interview with Re/Code that he felt gaming with a HoloLens would be more for general users rather than devoted gamers, and isn’t modelled as a gaming device the way devices like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are.

^^ That right there pisses me off sort of. Here PS4 is already profiting off it and they want to act as if it's not even going to be popular. I don't know about you but I guarantee you the majority of users prefer gaming on a VR headset with first person shooters like call of duty and halo far more than on a console device. I really don't know what these people are thinking but still no official release date and it seems as though the market is turning towards PS4 (even though I'm an avid xbox one user) and it's quite sad to say the least. I hope something happens in the future with the system where they actually put time into the VR as it should be the next platform. Then again they've spent so much money on the Xbox One X that the VR isn't their priority which is sad again...

Agreed, they shouldnt market it to one group but instead welcome it to everyone.
