Did Sony Doom the PSVR?

How can MS build, ship and sell 8 million Kinect sensors and Sony struggles to do the same with 1 million PSVRs?

Yet, they sell shitloads of PS4s / PS4 pros at the same time. They should have known that they could sell so much more.

Same for Nintendo and the NES Mini btw.
So much money to make and they just fuck it up.

 

PSVR is a very different device than Kinect.  Costs about 3 times more, and with how the other headsets performed, I'm hard pressed to find a lot of reason why they would've pushed to make millions of headsets.  I'd guess it's much more difficult to make PSVR than it was to make Kinect with the lenses and screens. 

I agree, but that is no excuse at all.

Sony was one of the biggest manufacturers of all kinds of electronics. They should be able to produce more than that.
There will be ca. 50 million PS4s sold at the end of 2016, did they really expect an attach ratio of only 1.5%? If so, their market research really sucks.

 

IMO Sony wasted a great opportunity here.
