The way i see it is that it doesn't matter how well or poorly PSVr sells as far as sony is concerned. For VR its a bad thing but for Playstation it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, let's not forget it's just a peripheral on top an existing console. And a very expensive one at that. No matter how anyone spins it, we are talking about $400-$700/$800 for a buy in depending on where your starting point is. That's a LOT of money for console gamers to spend. I'll like to think I am a big Sony fan, but that didn't even prompt me to buy it's as I just couldn't justify the purchase. I want it to do well, but untill a day when buying a VR headset is around as cheap as buying a a slightly more expensive controller (so no more than $150) VR gaming will never become mainstream. |
Of course it doesn't mean much for Playstation but Sony of course wants it to be successful, they have probably spent a lot of money for R&D and of course they want it to be successful and of course they don't say anything specific because of potentially not that good sales and demand.
I always thought VR was not going to convince customers to be anything substantial. You can't really show it, you can barely advertise it and then you have the problem of room setup, a lot of cabling and the high costs.
I don't say it is not an interesting concept but in the end, I think it will fail because of many reasons.
