Sony reportedly pauses PSVR2 production
According toa report from Bloomberg’s Takashi Mochizuki,people familiar with Sony’s production plans have said that the PSVR2 has been suspended.
This is to help the company get rid of existing units, as, reportedly, the $550 VR headset isn’t selling very well.
It directly competes with the Meta Quest 3 for VR gaming while offering fewer compatible titles and requiring a PlayStation console to use the headset at all.
The report was quickly shared by users across social media, prompting many to share their thoughts about it. Overall, hardly anyone is surprised that Sony may be having issues selling the headset.
One user commented: “I mean it isn’t really surprising. I still think it should’ve been backwards compatible with the other games on the first one. It has potential.”
“The lack of back compat for the pricing really killed this things chance of being successful product,” another said.
“No pc port. No backwards compatibility. It costs more than the console you got it for. Hard pass,” a third replied.
