Conclusion
In conclusion, every system has Pro's and Cons but I'd have to say that the Oculus Rift is better even though it has the same specs as the HTC Vive the price is cheaper which makes a big difference. Also thought if you already have a PlayStation 4, get that VR headset but if you don't then get the Oculus Rift.
