It’s no secret that Sony had high hopes for its PlayStation VR2 headset. Prior to its release, reports claimed that Sony had prepared around 2 million units, implying that it expected a large release (although it later halved that number). However, a new article from Bloomberg shows that the new headset fell short of expectations.
Apparently PS VR2 only managed to sell approximately 270,000 units in the first month since its launch (8,000 of them in the first week in Spain). The price of the PS VR2 (600 euros) is supposed to be the main point of contention for many potential buyers, especially in the current economic climate.
A price drop for the PS VR2 is recommended to avoid Sony viewing it as a sales flop. Although VR is still a niche market, selling less than 300,000 units doesn’t bode well for Sony’s recent gamble on VR.
