Actually is cheaper then a new TV (like 4k TV). And its better. Shouldnt be a big issue. As soon sony get those things in stock and more and more people are able to test it, it will do very well. Sure, it wont outsell the Ps4, but im sure we will have 5-10 Mio at the end of 2017. And thats good numbers for brand new tech,
The first television sold ALOT less in the beginning. And now a days everybody has one. |
But it is. I don't know how many ways that can be said. It doesn't matter how much it is compared to a TV. It isn't replacing a TV. It's a supplementary device with a limited pool of compatible software being sold at a premium. It is literally the biggest issue.
I said this before and I'll say it again - VR will never be anything more than a niche product until someone can sell it for $200, and that would be for a premium experience. VR will never take off at $400. It doesn't matter if everyone in the world tries and loves it. Normal people aren't going to drop $400 for supplemental tech. There's no way in hell PSVR is reaching 10m by the end of 2017. Not for $400 plus PS Camera plus Move. If it hits 3m by that time, I'd consider it a screaming success. That's abysmal.
Like I said in the post you directly quoted PSVR's sales are an issue of the product, not the tech. Of course VR will be bigger in the future, but not because of a $400 VR headset.
