Sony Just Gave Another Reason To Buy The PS4 Instead Of The Xbox One

Sony is giving gamers another reason to pick the PS4 over the Xbox One.

The company just announced a virtual reality headset for the next-gen console at this year's annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Called Project Morpheus, the black and white headpiece looks way slicker than the Oculus Rift virtual headset we've tried out in the past.

Here's a look at the prototype:

IGN reports the prototype will be available to developers to start creating games soon.

The headset will interact with Sony's camera and Move technologies.

Microsoft may really want to get to work on their virtual reality IllumiRoom now.
