PSVR sold 375,000 units in Q1 2017--soaring right past a million sold.

Bu, bu, bu, but....the PSVR is a flop! Right, guys?

Guess lems will have to come up with a new line of damage control.

From the article:

"The PlayStation VR has proven to be a huge success for Sony, with the company selling over 700,000 units by the end of 2016 and reaching over a million during the 1st quarter of 2017. Now we also know just how well the PSVR has been doing this year so far, as a new report by market research firm SuperData has revealed that 375,000 PSVR units were sold during the Q1 2017."

It still needs full games.

375000 unsatisfied and barfing customers

Resi 7--full game--released a while back.

Here They Lie--full game--released a while back.

EVE Valkyrie--full game--released a while back.

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood--full game--released a while back.

Starblood Arena--full game--recently released.

Psychonauts--full game--recently released.

Dirt Rally--full game--updated to fully support PSVR.

Statik--full game--recently released. It is an awesome psychological puzzler.

Korix--full game--recently released. It is an arena-style real-time strategy game. PVP or single player.

The Persistence--full game--is upcoming 2017.

Star Trek Bridge Crew--full game--is upcoming 2017.

Farpoint--full game-- is upcoming 2017.

Golem--full game--is upcoming 2017.

And the list goes on. If you need to be rekt any further, just let me know.

I am definitely expecting some AAA games to start supporting the PSVR at least to some degree. This was never going to be an overnight success story because the software just isn't there to launch it like a new console or something. Sony approached this the right way, and it is a slow-burn to the endzone full of ground game and lots of downs.

It's getting there, though. A 4-500 dollar peripheral has clearly started making waves going into E3. Fun times are ahead :)

And needs good games.

Flopcity.

That's actually not impressive. A little over a million? Pshh kinect sold millions in the first 3 months. PSVR is a flop.

Absolutely. Sony's tactic is to build a cult following behind the PSVR, and grow the community from the ground up. So far, it's working perfectly. There is a very solid community behind the device. Just check the reddit. Word is spreading.

PSVR is dead right guys?

Sony is increasing production, EA is including support of PSVR in their biggest game of the year, and PSVR has already sold over a million in less than 7 months despite being a $400-500 peripheral ?. I wonder how well MS' VR offerings are selling....

Lems = Rekt

Did the Kinect cost $400 dollars--$500 if you buy the bundle? Think again.

@reduc_ab_: Your big mistake is expecting a lem to think.

PSVR is dead.....???

It looks.........it is not and it is awesome.The only it needs is more good VR games.

From 2.5 million predicted to sell at launch to creeping past 1 million in 6 months.

Don't really know if 'soaring' would be a good description.

With a potential 60 million install base that seems more like 'sputtering', 'limping' or a 'slow drip' maybe?

Indeed. Finding ways to discredit the PSVR with news like this coming out left and right is going to start forcing lems to really stretch their minds.

Indeed. Not only has it flopped, but they are dropping support for it. Even Gran Turismo Sport is getting some pathetic tacked on support.

"Gran Turismo Sport had originally been expected to be playable entirely in PlayStation VR, after director Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that he was planning to "allow all aspects of [the game] to be experienced in VR".

Last month, however, he told me that was no longer the case, and that PSVR support would instead be limited to a specific 'VR Tour' mode. "But this mode, which Sony representatives said is being handled by a separate department at Polyphony Digital, clearly has a way to go in the development oven," Ars says.

Yikes. Flopasaurus.

@reduc_ab_: Kinect still sold more after the same point of time. A little over a million sales after 8 months is not great.

True. Those dudes are just on autopilot most of time, which is why you get the same line over and over and over again....and maybe a chart or two along the way.

@primorandomguy: ? How much did Kinect cost dude?

Your damage control is hilariously bad.

It is a shame hololens will sale ten times that amount. Enjoy not being able to see and falling around trying to game.

The Kinect fell flat on its face. It is a dead peripheral. It has no place in this discussion.

If you're trying to say that a $500 peripheral--which is entirely new tech to the public--selling over a million in a relatively short amount of time is not at all impressive, you're wrong. That being said, you're wrong.

Get over it.

@quadknight: DC? At least I'm not delusional enough to think a million sales after 8 months is "amazing", or "a game changer." You cows think anything Sony does is auto the best thing ever. Quit fooling yourselves. There's motion sickness reports. There's almost no good games. Take your head out of Sony's ass for just a minute and think rationally.

More like flopping. From expecting 2.5 million to a dismal 700k. 66% drop. Only Sony fans would hype the shit out of something that has shitty sales, shitty games and flopped so hard.

Once again, you bring up a quote that was never made by Sony. All Sony has ever said is that the PSVR is selling in line with their expectations. You are going to have to come up with a new form of damage control. Everyone knows your game, dude.

@reduc_ab_: Someone's getting cranky. Kinect just doesn't disappear because it proves your dumbass wrong. Stfu gtf over it. Stop posting on these forums and kindly go **** yourself on the way out. Bye!

@primorandomguy: You're damage controlling buddy, deal with it. ? Comparing a $400-500 peripheral with cutting edge tech to a dead peripheral like Kinect that cost $150 and was bundled with consoles is the highest form of damage control.

What, people thought VR would be a success?

Not entirely sure it will ever be big.

From your article that you posted NOT MADE BY SONY:

"as a new report by market research firm SuperData has revealed that 375,000 PSVR units were sold during the Q1 2017"

So Superdata is wrong when it's negative Sony, and right when it is positive Sony? Oh you....

Aaaaand here comes the name-calling and crude statements. Predictable, sweetie. See ya.

@kvally: Difference is they aren't making a prediction here, they are tracking already available sales data, there's a difference. The only person here owned is you ?

Bu bu bu bu bu... fllllaaaawwwp! There, beat that argument.

Seriously though, it kinda needs games :P Fallout 4 in VR could be amazing, but knowing Bethesda and their skills at optimizing games, it has to look like the original Doom just to achieve a playable framerate in VR.

@reduc_ab_:

How am I rekted?

You pretty much proved my point with the listing.

Nah, he got rekt big time. You can discount a third party data service, then turn around and praise them. And nothing confirmed by Sony (his own words).

That one was so easy, I almost feel bad burning Reduc so bad.

Yep. Precisely the point. Sales predictions and sales data are two very different things.

@reduc_ab_: This isn't good at all... Much less than their own forecast

Oh, okay. You were asking for a list of full PSVR games, I guess. Well, happy I could oblige you.

barely past a million? LOL

had a christmas season and going on a year and it just barely passed a million? "strange...especially considering the monster line up sony has for PSVR owners"

Sony never once gave a forecast. All they have ever said is that the PSVR is selling in line with their expectations. You are likely thinking of the 2.5 mil prediction that was not made by them.

@reduc_ab_:

No. it needs more full game experiences like Resident Evil.

It's silly to act like it does not.

The same less than handful die-hard Lems whenever there is positive PS4 news. . .

Yeah just like Xbox One is selling in line with the expectations Microsoft set in February 2013...

Ah, I see. You are damage controlling, as I originally suspected. You are DC'ing so hard, in fact, that you are flat-out tying to say that full games are not full games. I gave you a huge list, dude. Give it up.

@reduc_ab_:

Damage controlling what?

Half the list you posted isn't out yet.

Some aren't what I'm even talking about.

You assume I'm anti-psvr so you knee jerked your response based on a false assumption.

LOL, but Sony didn't say they had those sales (which you clearly pointed out was important....it needs to be SONY making those comments). A market analysis research firm estimates the sales at 375k, and now you are all lovey dovey with Superdata, yet you were not before. GOAL POST MOVE MUCH?

The same less than handful die-hard Sony Fans whenever there is negative PS4 news. . .

Kind of makes you wonder how stupid Sony fanboys are. Wasting money on fake VR.

Didn't you know, it's only true if Sony says it.

What....are you even talking about? 3/4 of the list I gave you is released games. See, you don't even look. You just act without thinking.

Lol right soaring. PSVR can only be used on PS4's. There's over 50 million PS4's world wide. So you got 1 Million out of 50+million customers. That's sucess?

Plus you can find PSVR used at GameStop, pawn shops, Used sales at Amazon, Craigslist. People really seem to want it. Hype it up??

Sold better than expected by Sony. Needs more full games. Over 60 million PS4s have been sold.

Sony expected to sell 1 million in the first 6 months. Also, PSVR is the VR leader.
