A month ago, Sony launched PlayStation VR2 on the market, virtual reality glasses that would seek to continue the idea of VR predecessors. The renewed Playstation proposal brings the possibility of playing Horizon: Call of the Mountain, in addition to bringing previous acquaintances such as Resident Evil Village and Gran Turismo 7. However, unfortunately for the company, despite promising a much higher quality than its PS4 version, the glasses had a terrible reception from the players.
Although Sony advertised its product and wanted it to be innovative for fans of the console and virtual reality, apparently PS VR2 was not flashy at all, registering a very low number of purchases at its launch, which meant a resounding failure. in a proposal that, according to the International Data Corporation of the United States, it will barely sell 270 thousand units by the end of March.
The failure of Playstation VR2 could be influenced by low interest from the target audience, which translates into low purchases; however, according to Francis Jerome, we must consider the global economic crisis that is currently occurring, which leaves virtual reality glasses completely out of the concerns that people have. In this aspect, PS VR2 was released with a value of 599 dollars (and close to 750,000 pesos in Chile), a value that must be added to that of the Playstation 5, which is the only compatible console, which increases its value excessively.
Considering this bet that will result in losses if a favorable change is not made, Jerónimo assures that the best option that Sony has at the moment is to cut the values of the device to allow more sales and that it does not result in a total failure. If these words are heard by Playstation, Tempting offers are likely to arrive to buy Playstation VR2 at a more affordable price.
