PSVR is much easier to understand than PSM, which could so easily be confused with PS Mobile or even PS Magazine. If you asked people what VR was, they'd likely know, but if you asked them what Morpheus was they'd likely not know and you'd have to explain it's Sony's VR headset.

Cut the crap: PSVR



 

The PS5 Exists.

I liked Morpheus, but this is a much safer name. People in general are not very smart, and if you don't just flat out tell them in the most basic terms what you are talking about, they will not get it. Like others have said above, Vita and WiiU are perfect examples of peoples ignorance.

The best part of this announcement is we don't have to worry about the RealEyes rumor/fake that was going around. That would have completely destroyed it.

Now I think they are set up to market this well, and that is the first step to getting people to the device.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Yeah, its like it would take additional steps to explain that the thing does VR.

Morpheus is a cool name though.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Morpheus was great, but VR is easier to inform costumers just like Iseries for Apple.

SONY is smart, PS brand is bigger then SONY it self lol, 20 years undefeated brand on video games is a powerful names. PS VR is just easy to predict. Yeah agree with this names, it's not too ambitious but it will delivered.

Makes perfect sense.
Playstation is a strong global brand, and this way it avoids any consumer confusion --- straight and to the point -> It's Playstation, it's VR.

Any news on the price?


Exactly.

We all know how it went when Sony got ingenious with the names *Cough* Vita *Cough*

Sony has always been straight to the point when it comes to name the consoles.

Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, Playstation Portable, Playstation Move.

I like that they keep it simple, no silly names, no gimmicky names.
