Thoughts, SW? Does PSVR2 have a chance at a second life?

For the record, it debuted at $549.99. Sony would probably be able to sell one if they released games for it.

Nice price drop but it still needs a massive killer app exclusive game in order to push more PSVR2 sales. Truth be told, VR in general is just isn't pushing gaming as far as innovation goes.

I still say it just needs a perfect killer app game just to push those PSVR2 if you ask me. Price cuts is good and all, but no-must-have-games for it, not even a price cut just won't work...some but it's gonna be a long time for it to hit the milestone.

When was the last time Sony made a game for it, and when is their next game coming out for it?

$399 is basically fraud.

I know I am in the minority here, but I think Sony really blew it.

It never would have been huge huge like regular sales, but it could have been huge for VR and set up a nice boost for the next iteration of VR.

They could have at least tried to release more games. And make it multiplatform to justify the sale of VR titles on other platforms.

Very nice, price, along with lack of software has been major problem for VR.

The Rift S acted good as an entry point, but still fairly pricey.

Wow, this thing just refuses to die, it refuses to budge really, it is not going anywhere, and not in some super cool Scarface last stand kind of way, no, it is on a level all its own, it is sticking through this gen in the Carlito way...

A PS2/Vita 2 would've been more successful than PSVR2.

I'm still confused as to why Sony haven't ported their VR games to Steam at this point. They won't be doing any more business on the PS5 at this stage so may as well. Valve should to the same with Alyx too (as should other VR devs in general).

But yeah: Historically Sony have really struggled with supporting more than 1 platform. Even though the games run on a PS5, PSVR is still basically a separate platform that needs it's own games.

The state of VR makes me sad 😭.

They are just trying to sell off back stock. Another failure... I'd rather see a handheld or hybrid console.
