Well I dont think anything will change your mind coz u have already decided what to believe! If it was unsuccessful Sony wont have announced the sales numbers! Considering this gen was the big push for VR for mass market and 3 million is pretty astonishing number, Considering the fact there was a huge nintendo hybrid launched last year and PSVR a gaming experience in its infancy still sold at a steady rate is a pretty big deal. I think sony will feel sorry for you, as PSvr has failed to meet your lofty expectation. |
It's pretty easy to change my mind actually, but I really don't see how 3 million in sales can be seen as a success. It's not like terrible or embarrassing, it's just okay. That's probably why Sony said that PSVR's market growth was "below expectations" in a investors event in may.
It just confirms what I've said since it was announced. PSVR is a niche product and it's not going to bring VR to mainstream. The technology isn't there and the price isn't there, and it ut maybe we should temper our expectations that this segment of the industry is going to be replacing televisions in the main way to play a Playstation game in the foreseeable future.
To be clear, there's nothing wrong with being a niche product, but it was just never was going to be more than that and it's becoming painfully obvious. Maybe in the future some people might want to pause and reconsider the next time they refer to a game like God of War as a "retro style game".
