It would be useful for those of us a few tens of thousands of km away
from the action if someone posted on the way Sega advertises this HMD
(when it does do so).

The reason: if Sega says, "Here is Virtual Reality!! <gush gush>" then
it's going to hurt VR long-term. ("That's VR? Lousy," will be
response.)

If Sega says, "Here is a first crude step to VR <we're working on
better>" then it will probably help. ("Hey this is going to be great
one day.")

Either way, you can't ignore the humungus games market on future
opinion, no matter how highbrow you would like to think you are.
Numbers count.
