Forums - Sony Discussion - PSVR will be priced so Sony doesn't make any profit. What are your price predictions now?

$350-$400, i cant see this doing well

hm.. I think if this "feeling of being present in a different world" is anywhere near as compelling as VR enthusiasts make it sound then the positive word of mouth and people trying it at a friends house etc could make it a slow-burn success, VR certainly won't storm out the door like motion control did with the Wii

Probably $299. It'll still be hard to sell, but we'll have to wait and see how it turns out, I guess...



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I hope its below 300$, but more important is good games that looks decent.

300 with a free first-party game seems like a price point I would be gravitating towards. Sony is the most willing of the three developers to take financial risks to sell hardware, especially now that the PS4 is doing phenomenally well.

I would be extraordinarily impressed if they could somehow manage to bring PSVR down to 250 dollars.

Of course that in the end depends on the games that the Vr recives and also its price, but even if the price was 200 or even 150, I still would be more tempted to get a XboxOne, first because I want to play its exclusives which look awesome(such as Halo, Sunset Overdrive, Gears of War, its exclusive indies, and specially Scalebound(my god, Scalebound looks beyond epic), and many more) and second because of every VR game that i saw until now, none looks truly amazing.They seem like experiences that can be truly awesome for half a hour or one hour, but after that, I would just return to play regulary on my ps4(Maybe I have this opinion because I never tried VR, so this is subject to change).But I sincerely prefer acess to Microsoft first party titles than VR.For this gen at least

True, it's a toss up between a sure thing and something new that could very well not live up to expectations, especially not after waiting for it for 20 years. Although I don't think we have to worry too much about this 1996 '''study''' (that needs some extra quatation marks)

I'm hopeful and excited to finally get to try it. If it's not all that great, well those exclusives and the xb1 will still be coming down in price anyway.



It is a game changing experience. A true eye opener.

I have some money. If it becomes a good, early way of getting a solid vr experience I'd consider getting a playstation 4 just for it and to hell with the price.

However, I suspect the ps4 just isn't powerful enough to deliver and I wouldn't pay much for a disappointing experience when I can just get oculus rift and more powerful pc.

£10, maybe £15

$299 for PSVR only, $599 bundle with PS4. Lower would be great value but i don't see it happening at launch. Don't forget it will likely include a PS Camera for head tracking aswell.

If you need to buy a PS4 I would not do it. As the experience of the Oculus or Vive will be clearly superior in all aspects.Higher Resolution more horsepower from the PC. Room scale tracking in the case of the Vive which makes apparently a huge difference (could not test myself).

Its a good investment if you already own a PS4 as this would give you a streamlined consumer friendly VR experience in decent quality for a good price.

However if you need to spend roughly 800 on PS4 and PSVR I would invest a bit more into a system (PC) that is future proof and will have the best VR experiences from a technical point of view. 

Sony might have some killer VR Games exclusively however so can Vive and Oculus.
