Confirmed: PSVR 2 will use eye tracking from Tobii.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.

Following on from its Meta Quest launch, adventure-mystery Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye is out now for PSVR 2.
I remember hearing that they were having dealings with Tobii, but it's awesome to get confirmation.
I think many gamers that have less experience with VR won't necessarily understand the impact eye tracking will bring. This is a huge moment for VR and a literal game changer. Arguably more so than the move from HDD to SSD.
Excited to see it in action!
Checked out the company and they have a 20 year track record in eye tracking. Everything from games to cars, smart move on Sonys part.
This is a great get for Sony (who will be working with the best in the business) as well as Tobii who is speculating that the deal will represent 10% of their total revenue in 2022 (FY I assume). This is leading some to speculate a Q1 '23 launch for PSVR 2.
Ok, now please sell me one.
The cool thing about it is that it's future proof. Eye tracking can be used on any future update of PS5 if Sony chooses to make a mid gen refresh.
It's also ready for a PS6 console as the headset will be using the power of the console and not some limited mobile processor.
If streaming gets fast enough some time in the future, Eye tracking is ready for that as only where you are looking is where processing is necessary.
PS VR 2 is ready for awesomeness against the naysayers wishes. But the eye tracking guarantees long life of the headset even if Sony moves on to a future, smaller headset.
