VRFocus reports on the news that Sony will be ending its HMZ line of personal viewers with the release of the Project Morpheus HMD incoming.
While the Sony State of Play had a critical lack of first-party titles and new stuff, Xbox came in hard and delivered one hell of an event.
It's embarrassing how "professional videogaming journalism" has fallen off.
Article written by a 13 years old full of acne.
I think people need to be aware that purpose of State of Play is updates on small scale and 3rd party games, their big scale showings are PlayStation Showcase.
Approved this silly submission of an "opinion article" with the last 2 votes it needed to have a laugh at the upcoming comments.
Seriously, console war shit like this one should be banned from n4g.
One one side a company that has brought real innovation in videos games with the first truly 3d graphics for mass entertainment, handheld devices, VR, great francises ... on the other side the Netflix of video games, and so .... who wants to be who? Let's stay focus and play some games kids.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.
Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.
My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.
During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”
It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.
Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.
I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.
Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?
This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.
Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.
I hope you can do both,regular viewing and VR.
That will nail it.

I suspect that they will make Morpheus capable of acting as personal display.
Can you image the enormous market if Morpheus can be used as a personal movie TV, PRIVATE computer screen, display for ANY HDMI device (including competitor consoles, PS3, PS TV, TV top boxes, blue ray, etc).
Obviously used on other device than PS4 it would not be a VR screen, just a personal screen (until driver/support for other devices would be developped which may never happen, thought it is likely unofficial ones would be made for PC). That still mean a big market.
Which in turn could sell more PS4 and more PS4 related software. If people buy Morpheus for other uses and don't have a PS4, buying a PS4 would then mean using the Morpheus to it's full potiental (for VR).
That also removed the burden of those saying that they won't buy Morpheus because they fear that it won't be supported. Even if Sony drop the ball on support, then Morpheus would still be usable as a display (and as such not wasted money).
If that's truly the case (Morpheus as a personal display for any HDMI source) then I am sure it will be a HUGE success by itself and increase the already impressive PS4 sales.
Everyone should try these! My ex had the T1 and it's amazing, was my tv everytime I went to her place. So immersive and the 3D was perfect.
Really hope we can use Morpheus as a screen too.
Hopefully this means a release date will be announced soon along with pre orders.
