Probably they will release early because they don't say anymore for 15 July on Facebook. I say this because be able to play with the mars hardware can help a lot to understand how to get stuff done and make the laser tracking working on pc much better with one or 4 players with one camera.

That's a bad sign. Usually when a company has a release date posted and they remove it means the release will be delayed. :(

The mars lightguns are up on amazon for pre-order.
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Xbox-One-Mars-Starter-Pack/dp/B07RL8WQFC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ir+laser&qid=1557894265&s=videogames&sr=1-1
Looks like there will be console versions. The base unit with game, one gun and camera is $99 and each additional gun is $29. Still pricy, but if you get the two gun bundle for $120 that's about the same as the act labs guns bitd.
Amazon has ps3 cameras up for $6.99, so I'm down to tinker. I'm researching atm to see if this is yet another vb6 project or if I need to choose another language. Video is one of the few things that vb6 can't do well so we'll see.

Went ahead and ordered a ps eye. I also noticed that there are some sellers selling custom webcam filters at any desired wavelength.... around 2 for $10. Aside from whatever device we choose to interface the buttons and the desired gun shell, I don't see a setup like this costing very much, which is kind of the point. If you don't mind a wired setup I'm thinking a Arduino uno clone for the I/O (around $6) and a dollar store/s-mart toy gun for the shell and some misc bits like the laser and some micro switches.
Found some vb code that looks decent, but until I get the actual webcam in hand I won't know if it's laggy or not. I'm not going to buy everything needed until I can get a good proof of concept coded.

Pdpmars shipping date 31 /12/ 2019. And only USA and Canada market. Too bad not for Europe. This encourage me to go ahead with this Diy laser gun
