I have no idea what you or "many people" hoped it would sell in less than a year at the insane price its at and with the stock issues it had for the first couple months, but me and other sane people, and Sony themselves, expected a slow but steady start with sales accelerating as more games release for the system, and thats what is happening and the proof is all there. |
My comment was about VR in general. Rift, which was expected to be the leader, has significantly underperformed. Vive and PSVR have done okay, but they have not sold well enough to entice devs to make AAA content for them. And that's the underlying problem. Without AAA content, most people will pass. If most people pass, nobody will invest the money to produce AAA content. The possible exception could be Sony, as they're a big game developer (through their captive studios) *and* marketer of VR hardware. But, so far, they have not released a killer app.
It is a fact that the buzz around VR has dropped off a cliff. I wouldn't say the immediate future is hopeless. But, it certainly isn't as bright as the industry hoped. This Sony dude in the OP is essentially saying so.
With all of that said, maybe Skyrim will help. I certainly hope it does.
