Another report says PS4 virtual reality headset will be announced next week

Sony's long-rumored virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 4 will be officially announced next week during the 2014 Game Developers Conference, a new report from Edge said today. This tallies with a past report that also claimed Sony would use the annual show to unveil its competitor to the Oculus Rift.

Some third-party developers are already tinkering with a prototype of Sony's VR headset, the report claims, but it's not clear which studios are currently working with the device. These developers told Edge that Sony's VR device is "far superior" to Oculus Rift's first iteration, though it's likely to be more in-line with the newly unveiled Crystal Cove unit.
