Sony Group Corp. is projected to sell fewer than 300,000 PlayStation VR2 headsets in its first weeks on the market, a slow start for company efforts to take a leading role in development of the metaverse.
The Tokyo-based console maker is likely to sell about 270,000 units of the PSVR2 between its Feb. 22 release and the end of March, according to estimates from the research firm IDC. Sony had a lofty goal of making about 2 million units for the PSVR2’s launch window, Bloomberg News reported last year.
Mighty Eyes has confirmed that its time-travelling remake Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate will now arrive on 12th September 2024.
Super Spin Digital are set to bring Spin Rhythm XD to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and bring VR to all supported platforms.
3R Games is ready to launch Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street onto PSVR 2 this week, following on from the Meta Quest release in 2022.
Not surprising at all, anyone could see from a mile away this would flop especially after those dire preorders. When the console is selling so well and even with a massive marketing push your product still fails to sell you should know it's time to cut your losses and bow out.
I fully expect it to be discontinued by the end of next year unless they start giving them away.
It's pricey, but worth it. Just many of us couldn't pull off a purchase at launch.
Problem for me was Christmas just a few months ago, needing and purchasing a new work computer, having 2 kids birthdays hit right around PSVR2 launch. I just couldn't pull it off. :\
I doubt we'll have a price drop this year, even in the holidays, but I'm sure they'll do bundles. Even if its the individual stores doing them, and not Sony themselves. That's when I will get one, November-ish.
I bet it'll do a lot better then. --it would be a great surprise to see a price drop during the holidays though! An even $500 would be alright. I'm sure I'm not alone in really wanting one, but having to wait.
I'm drooling over the prospect of playing full GT7 in VR, it's killing me! 😭
