More water on the VR-rumor mill

As I wrote a time ago, it seems that Microsoft is revealing a VR headset for Xbox One next year. More news about this circulated the internet last week as TechRadar wrote that some dev kits are already in the hands of some developers. They are, allegedly, to appear on E3 2015, but I think we will know a lot about them long before that.

VR goggles may be a bit gimmicky or they may be the next real big thing in gaming. Either way we can sure hope for a some great competition between Microsoft and Sony next year, which will certainly be beneficial for us users. 

Rumors of fitness and VR in 2015

Two new gadgets for Xbox One have been rumored to be revealed next year. The first one is a new smart watch, similar to Microsoft Band but much more closely connected to Xbox One. It is rumored to get fitness games with achievements for being active. Microsoft care about their gamers, and their health apparently. What the changes from the Band, more than maybe some changes in the OS, is still unknown. Hopefully not much will change as Band have some great features and sensors. This will probably be revealed at it's latest at E3.

The other rumor may be more interesting, a rumored pair of VR-goggles, supposedly named Project: Fortaleza is in the works. This isn't any huge news, as Sony's rumored to work on Project Morpheus, their own set of goggles for PlayStation. As VR seems to be the next big thing in gaming, it's understandable how both Microsoft and Sony want a grab of the money.

Neither of these would be anything wild for Microsoft, and therefor I think we can safely say that both those gadgets are probably in the pipeline for release. However, if they will see the market is not as safe.
