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

I honestly dont know.But as was stated before, Sony is probably seeing this as a long term investment.This is me just theorizing like a madman, but i think they are laying the groundwork for the PS5,to get people used to it, and which I think will come with a VR and use it as an necessary acessory, much like kinect was at the beggining of the XBoxOne.But again, wild assumptions.As for now, it depends on when it releases and how much it costs, but i think 500k for the first year seems reasonable, and I think Sony is expecting something on that line.They know they cant sell it like the ps4 with that price.

I think you are underestimating the amount of people that are eager to experience VR, that are too blind to see past what the marking will tell them or that have more money than common sense.

Unless they price it above $400, Sony can sell 1 million easily.

Maybe.But that same amount of people may not be able to afford it.I mean, most of us(and that includes me) are excited about the idea, about the level of immersion that the VR can provide, but I think those same people are not giving much thought about its price, or even are just assuming that it will be something like kinekt, something that are more expensive than most acessorys, but it is at the same time affordable.When sony announces its price, and Im almost certain it will be something around 300, those same people will abandon ship, because thats simply too expensive for something complimentory to the console.Thats dosnt mean it wont sell well the first few months.Those really eager for it will buy it first week, but after that I think sales will decline.Dont think it will be a Virtual Boy like failure, but I still think it will be a failure, commercially speaking anyway.

That's why I didn't include regular gamers in the kind of users that will jump onboard first .

Now, I agree that it won't be a huge success like Kinect or the Balance Board, but I think it can do well enough.
