lol
not the move anyone should do in a market where they are trying to break into.
They were never going to break into the market via hardware anyways.
Sucks for the Xbox fans over there though.
Theyâre not really in it for this market though. All Japanese efforts they make are for the sake of getting JP games for Western players
Lackluster preorders for PSVR2
Sony Slashes PlayStation VR2 Headset Output After Pre-Orders Disappoint
-
High price seen as a limiting factor for wider adoption
-
Sluggish demand exacerbates lackluster momentum for VR sector
The company halved its forecast for shipments of the PSVR2, which is set for a Feb. 22 release, this quarter to about a million units, said people familiar with its deliberations. Sony had previously aimed to have 2 million headsets ready for the launch quarter and leverage its second-generation headset to drive user growth and adoption for VR.
Imagining laughing at price increase, only for your side to get hit on something as well. Regardless, Monday finally bringing the bad news on both front.
At least the price adjustments were delayed for longer to see if the financial pressures would self-correct. Obviously the pressures havenât and wonât anytime soon.
One thing that tells me is PS clearly overestimated the fans. They wonât eat everything up like itâs free candy.
This is the perfect time to launch a PC and Console supported VR platform
Most of the VR enthusiasts wonât dive into a closed Console environment
Sony must make an exception here and release VR games day and date on PC platforms
Make there headset compatible with PC
And then they will meet targets
Iâll bet PS is hoping for influencers and reviewers to sell it real hard.
A tethered system in the year of the lord 2023 with a hefty sticker price, no killer software and no access for PC players is only for the hardcore cultists. Sad to see there are still more than a million of them on this planet.
I expect this thing to die faster than the PS Vita which also had no confidence and major first party support out of the gate.
Seems even Disgaea 7 is outperforming Forspoken in Japan, even on PS. To paraphrase, a budget JRPG from a small company is outperforming Squareâs AAA project that was supposed to be âthe next big thing.â
Wonât be surprised if Forspoken makes this list at this point
Im pretty sure every japanese xbox fan bought one. Knowing the 4 xbox guys i who have an xbox and live in japanâŚthey have bought every console near launch.
But they need moee incentive to buy one. Price increase isnt going to do much.
Sony denies shipments lowered for PSVR2:
Didnât they deny the shipment of PS5 only to be mostly if not true? I mean it is funny how we can easily believe with Sony, but anyone else, whoever wrote is 1000% true. All Iâm saying is, believe what you will.
World Cup hype really helped.
That remind me, is the contract with Game Pass close to ending or has it expanded? It has been doing more good than harm.
