Seriously? I attend IUPUI, it's on my bio. The school of informatics and computing. I just played Layers of fear on Friday with the VR update, the last day for the semester. I've also played Batman Arkham VR, The London Heist, The Climb, The Lab, and numerous other games. It just isn't ready. It's novel at best and vomit enducing. PSVR Sales slumped greatly and projections couldn't have been any more wrong. It was projected to do 2.6 million and it hasn't even broken the 1 million mark yet. It's not a good sign in any field. They're terrible. If Nintendo said they've sold out of Wii Us and they only shipped 2 of them, is that a good thing? I don't think so, it's the same with PSVR. They may have sold out in some areas, they're stacked high in Indiana, but that doesn't mean it's selling well.

PSVR's sales are an issue of the product, not the current viability of the tech. I always knew PSVR wouldn't do well. $400 is way too expensive for a mass market accessory with a tiny software landscape.

I honestly don't think the tech is ready to be something that everyone wants to use on a regular basis. It is very frustrating to get up and running,  the software is one and done from my experience, there's a bad psynergy between the device and the majority of gamers. The technology is impressive, I was pleasantly surprised by Batman and The London Heist. I think the price wasn't a huge factor. People will pay for quality and desire. It had quality but nobody really had a need or desire for it. At this point, it's even more gimmicky than the Wii And they need to find a way to make you look less ridiculous while playing.
