"The only game that is talked about. And just proves my point in not needing to spend an extra 400 just to play a game (one game)".

Well if that ain't the mating call of a supremely ignorant and eager PSVR hater... Your point wasn't proven, and all you're contributing to this discussion is your confirmation bias. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@gamerzero

"PSVR has easily been the most successful VR unit."

Like I said, it may be doing better than the other VR units but it doesn't mean it's successful for Sony.

@Stanjara
"It's the new market."
Yeah, I keep hearing this. Don't really know if that is any sort of excuse for a product not taking off as it should though.

@Shadow
"Still smarting that there's no "high fidelity" huh?"

Uuugh, I have seen you leave that comment a couple of times already so I'm assuming you're laughing thinking it's some type of wit from somewhere, I personally have no idea what it means though.

"You'll change that toon when they offer it on Xbox two and sing its praises."

If it does come to Xbox and it offers games that appeal to me then I will praise it, the same way I might have if Sony would had done the same for it's own PSVR. But if MS offers the same tech demos, half games or games that can just be played the regular way then there's no point in me purchasing an extra add on for 400+ more money.

@gangsta

The PSVR is being sold for a profit, even if its making just £5 per headset that's £15m profit. For a peripheral that's pretty good going.

And as Gamer zero pointed out they take a 30% cut on those 22million games being sold.

Ha! why am I not surprised to see this sheer nonsense coming from Gangsta_red?
The same guy that said VR is not immersive... 😂😂😂


With moldybread out of the picture, of course we have to have someone who continues to be disingenuous about the only console that does VR and does it well! I mean if you would have informed himself, you would never have made embarrassing statements about VR in the first place, and would have known that Sony is making significant profits on both the hardware and software aspects of VR with them being the industry leader by a country mile. But they're not pleased....? LMGDAO! I mean, considering that the unit costs about the same price as the console it's compatible with itself, that is quite the amazing figure and I don't know how any console manufacturer would be displeased given the context. 3 million sold in less than 24 months for fledgeling technology that costs $400+ and doesn't have top tier AAA support is undeniably impressive. Especially when profits are involved across the board. All this shows is growth, and reasons for them to continue supporting it going into the next-generation, no matter how convinced you are that their studios are not representing the technology, and that nothing is going to change as the technology gets better and its success continues.

Remind me Gangsta_red... how many copies do MOST games sell against the 80 million PS4s, the ~35 million Xbox Ones, the 20 million Switch units and 100+ million gaming PCs out there? What about last gen with the 360, PS3 and Wii? Probably the same ratio or you know, FAR worse. By your amusing logic here, no developer other than Rockstar Games, Mojang and occasionally Nintendo could be remotely satisfied with what they sell. Context doesn't matter, and we must downplay... at all costs. /s

Keep it coming. Looking forward to the next joke at 5 million.

"Don't really know if that is any sort of excuse for a product not taking off as it should though."

What does "as it should" mean? You are clearly the expert in this sector. How should a $400+ peripheral take off within the first 2 years of its introduction as new technology for this generation? How so when the console itself costs as much? How should the Xbox One X have taken off? How should the PS4 Pro have taken off? What are these meaningless excuses you yourself are making to try and discredit people actually making good points like "it's a new market".

@DigitalRaptor
"why am I not surprised..."

Why am I not surprised that you're replying to me with bs.

Then as usual with you, you go into a long winded ass hurt speech about Moldybread, or anyone else you have a personal problem with.

No matter your weak sales pitch that you copy and paste or your gorilla marketing that isn't sanctioned officially from Sony is going to change that fact that VR hasn't taken off like it was expected. That these numbers are not as impressive as it should be and even Sony has admitted this.

"What are these meaningless excuses you yourself are making to try and discredit people actually making good points like "it's a new market"."

"its a new market" is a good point? So according to your amusing logic basically anything that doesn't sell well or as expected can be excused and backed up by simply saying "its' a new market".

The funny thing is, if this would have taken off as you would have liked it and became a phenomenon and world changer you would have been here doing the Macarena and telling everyone how Sony "did it again". But since it hasn't now it's "a new market" excuse.

Gawd, you are so boring now.

Yes it is, it is exactly enough. Right on spot.

@mad

But the PSVR isn't the main console, it's a peripheral.

You can't compare a main console to an add on. A main console is after market share, the PSVR is made to get more money out of that market share.

@ Kribwalker

3 million sales bringing in at least $250 each (being sold at profit) = over $750 million.

If you think PSVR cost anywhere close to even $100 million to R&D, I have a bridge to sell you. PSVR comes from the same department thats R&D places silicon balls on the end of sticks, and strapping cameras to rudimentary headmounted gear. Magic Lab has consisted of like... 4 people: https://www.recode.net/2014...

Very expensive stuff... 😂 Surely it cost $100 million or something. /s

What's even funnier is that Sony as a company has over 20 years' experience in developing HMD technology. R&D would have been a drop in the ocean for them. This didn't start from nowhere in 2010, and the fact that PS Move was already a thing by the time they started working on PSVR is important to note.

Try harder with your excuses, it's embarrassing for you.
