The launch of PS VR 2 caused a lot of controversy, especially due to the high selling price, and this virtual reality kit still exists today. It costs 599.99 euros without the gamemore than what the PS5 Slim with an optical drive costs, which ranges between 500 and 549.99 euros depending on whether we find it on sale or not.

First generation model, released for PS4, was relatively successful, because although several million units were sold, those sales were small compared to the results achieved by the PS4. Overall, it was enough to encourage Sony to develop and sell PS VR 2, the virtual reality suite for the PS5 that was an absolute failure.

Sony has not disclosed sales figures, but the fact that it had to speed up PC compatibility and that it decided to freeze production are two keys that do not bode well, it does not allow for debate. It seems that the situation has become unsustainable and that PS VR 2 sales are so bad that even Sony has completely lost interest in this kitso much so that she began to introduce very significant cuts.

There are only two games in development for PS VR 2

In order for a VR set to make a difference and generate interest, it needs to have a good catalog of games. After the launch of the PS VR, it became clear that games are the driver of this type of peripheral and that this also affects the selling price. Sony didn’t do things well at either of those two points with the PS VR 2 and things get worse.

A fairly reliable source reports that Sony developing only two new games for PS VR 2. Considering that the company hasn’t made any major announcements since the launch of this VR headset, there’s no doubt that this is bad news and that this VR headset might have its days numbered, ie . , that Sony might stop supporting you with your own development sooner than usual.

If that happens, those who spent nearly €600 on the PS VR 2 will have a bleak outlook. At this time, Sony has neither confirmed nor denied this information, nor has it decided to lower the retail price of this VR headset in an effort to improve sales. It can be price maintenance in terms of appearancebut if the situation continues like this, it will eventually become unsustainable and you will have no choice but to lower the price or risk accumulating too many unsold units.

I can confirm that it is possible to find PS VR 2 units on the used market at the time of writing. for less than 400 euros, which means that it already suffers from a significant devaluation and that, as I said, the price of 600 euros that Sony maintains is not realistic.
