>Created by HP in collaboration with Microsoft and Valve, the upcoming Reverb G2 headset has a bright, high resolution display, excellent tracking, and immersive audio to take maximum advantage of Microsoft Flight Simulator’s incredible visuals and fully 3D soundscape. The HP Reverb G2 will be available later this fall and the VR update will be a free update for all Microsoft Flight Simulator players.
That says nothing about exclusivity, it's just them shilling a headset by saying it's the best for the game, which Valve did with Alyx too. Find me something that actually says it's only on G2 and I'll believe you.
>They've just made a headset that blows the Index out of the water
The headset might [spoiler]other than refresh rate[/spoiler], but the tracking and controllers will be inferior to a $400 Rift S or Quest. The regular Reverb was already a better sim headset, and no one really cared about it either.
>Give it 1 year, the VR scene is going to purely be a battle between Oculus and Reverb
Not a chance. Microsoft isn't building their own VR headsets or supporting VR on their consoles, and they've shown no indication of funding exclusives like Oculus.
