PlayStation VR Has Sold Out on Amazon in UK and US

Best Buy, Walmart, and Target also experiencing some shortages

Whether you're a fan of PlayStation VR or not, you have to admit that Sony's venture into virtual reality is selling very well. On both the US and UK Amazon pages, the headset's launch bundle (containing the headset, PlayStation Camera, two Move controllers, and the PlayStation VR Worlds game) and Core Headset have both sold out completely, with no restock date set for either country.

American retailers Walmart, Best Buy, and Target also seem to be experiencing some shortages, too; at the time of writing, the PlayStation VR Launch Bundle is sold out online at all three retailers (though the core headset is available for delivery) and no Best Buy or Target store within 250 miles of New York City, Los Angeles, or Chicago stocks it. UK retailer GAME is also experiencing shortages in some stores, but nothing major.

Frankly, this is great news for Sony and VR as a whole. It's clear that consumers have full confidence in virtual reality now, and these strong sales figures should convince more developers and publishers to start making their own VR games. If you haven't picked up a PSVR and are interested, however, then you may have a hard time finding one, especially with the Christmas season coming ever closer and the spectre of Black Friday looming large.

Has anyone tried to buy it from you over the retail price?



certainly because Sony already realized their mistake and stopped making them month ago /s



I would like to hear some hard numbers.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

It all sold out here in Australia. 2nd shipment all sold out as well. I preordered for 3rd shipment but it wont arrive until late december



Good I hope this means we can start getting VR games soon.



It's still a fad as far as I'm concerned, until it can prove it's longevity with good games released over successive years.

Still, I think once porn applications and peripherals start rolling out the future of VR will be secure. Of course that puts PSVR at a distinct disadvantage because PS will never support porn applications, aside from Japan maybe.

(I came first, Briggle!)

I think I remember seeing that Sony was surprised by how high pre orders were, so considering that, plus launch stock selling out in most places, I'm pretty sure they're happy with it.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Is it really a fiasco? All reviews I saw praised as a very cool gadget.

I was planing on buying it next year 



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
