8M in 2 years huh. And some people think devs will bother making quality stuff for such small userbases...

 

That's like doublev what ppl actually think.

So if it goes 8 million that's really damn good

Good for Sony, not good for psvr users

I wonder how long it'll take people to realize that almost nobody will develop games for it. Sort of like Kinect and PSMove, but with much more wasted money.

Cause PSVR is a completely new platform that doesn't use PS4 games right?

Be realistic man - you can patch in/ port in VR support to many different games. It just might not have alot of games that are built ONLY for VR.

The misconsception here is that PSVR users will be mad if there isn't PS4 level of games made for it. There are other things that PSVR will be enjoyed with. porn

I think that games will be developed enmasse when devs have found out how to fully explore the medium, and we don't yet know how that will go.

That's more than the Wii U sold in it's first two years and Nintendo is still able to make quality games for that.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Thanks for furthering my point by comparing it with the Wii U

I assume your point is about PSVR not selling enough to get support? Which if that's the case, I'd like to direct you to exhibit A.

Here another article worth looking at aswell.

But please, continue telling how PSVR won't get any support.

You might also take a look at the channel "Dobby Potter" while you are at it ;)

That one and his dedication is far more impressive.

ah, stiff competition for worst gaming videos on youtube huh?

Then you got this guy who's on the Xbox side but hates both the PC and Sony side:

Blows my mind how he gets that many views for drumming up controversy, then again people like Reviewtech USA do the same thing as well.

I almost forgot about Dobby Potter, that guy seems to show up in every comments section for nearly every game that's coming out or has been out, always throwing insults at the first sign.

 

OT: I think with early adopters you have to expect some decent numbers, unless you've invented something that is so terrible that no one on earth would want it. That said I was sure Palmer wasn't expecting many pre-orders on his end as well.

So they expect 20% of their userbase to buy a 500$ add-on when only 5% of their userbase, bought the "system-seller" and the best exclusive yet Bloodborne?

Bloodborne is only a system seller for hardcore gamers, if at all. The rest of us, that don't have the patience to do the same thing death after death, just avoid it.
