From February 22 to the end of March 2023, Sony managed to sell only 270,000 PlayStation VR2 virtual reality glasses. In this respect writer Bloomberg cites data from analytics firm IDC.
Analysts point to the launch of PlayStation VR2 at the wrong time as the reason for the bad result. The fact that the device received a high price tag of $ 550 became the main problem of the product in an environment where people started to be more careful about spending.
It is stated that now is not the best time for VR headsets. With their high prices, there are many cheaper gaming devices on the market that buyers are more willing to choose.
Bloomberg writes that in the near future Sony is likely to lower the cost of new products. Otherwise, according to journalists, the device will completely fail.
The first generation PlayStation VR was released in 2016. Over the course of six years, the device has sold about 5 million copies. Sony also hopes that the PlayStation VR2 will surpass the result of the first revision.
