Miyamoto: Virtual Reality Isn't Suited for Multiplayer Yet

I do like their reasons for it. It shows that there is hope that at least one company will keep doing the kind of games I and my circle of friends desire. But I dislike their stance on this. If current VR is not good enough, make your own VR system!

VR sure.
But they cant possibility be ignorant of AR developments altogether can they? Optically transparent displays have all sorts of multiplayer potential. Your still seeing and interacting with eachother in the real world - you merely also have virtual stuff as well.

Maybe cost, ergonomics or other factors arnt there, but AR most certainly could be a very social gaming experience. Arguably moreso then anything thats come before.
