Less than Switch more than 3DS. Sony normally offers much better hardware value in performance terms and I feel they should focus more on portability than performance so it should sit at a early Vita price point $250/£210 with the VR visor another $50/£40. Should then drop to $200/£170 for its first big price drop. There is absolutely no reason why this price point isn't easily achievable and profitable for Sony. It really just has to be more powerful and more portable than Switch which will be easy to do if launched lets say late next year. It would need to be fully compatible with all playstation VR titles as well. The visor could also be used portably to give augmented reality etc and more basic VR experiences, maybe ps2/ps3 level VR titles. I do think Sony needs to integrate VR into their portable platform. It may even be that the only offer a hybrid style VR platform in the future so if you want to play VR on ps4, ps4 pro or ps5 it will be making use of their hybrid console in a visor. If they have a tablet with a high definition display why not combine it with a VR visor. Sony have less need for a dock anyway with their more powerful home consoles, a hybrid portable/VR system in many ways would be better and tv output while supported would be more of a minor feature. |
When the psp4 comes into the market at $250 the Switch will already be at that price point.
