PSVR 2 failed, no doubt about it. Sony itself decided to stop production due to low sales of the said virtual reality set and also significantly reduced your investment on building kit-related projects, including large games.

This is a problem because to sell such a VR suite you need to have a really attractive catalog of games. If you stop investing in games, you won’t have anything to spark interest and sales will not recover unless you take other drastic measures, such as significantly reducing the selling price.

That’s exactly what Sony did, cut the selling price of PSVR 2 by almost half, although at the moment it seems to have done so only in the United States, since in Spain it is still at the same price as its launch, 599.99 euros.

In the United States, the PSVR set cost 2 $549.99and after the reduction applied by Sony it was worth it $349.99. That’s a $200 savings.

Is the PSVR 2 bundle worth it after that price drop?

Considering what it offers on a hardware level Yeahit is a good price because it has two OLED panels (one per eye) with a resolution of 2000 x 2040 and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz is compatible with PS5 and PC, but for use with a computer we will have to buy an adapter that will cost $60 and will arrive on August 7. which will cause the final cost to increase.

However, on the level of support and according to the catalog of games, Sony’s proposal is much less interesting. We also have to take into account what I mentioned at the beginning of this article, that Sony has significantly reduced its investment in new development for the PSVR 2, which means that very few games will come to this bundle and that it could have a relatively short life cycle.

Overall, this price drop appears to have had a significant pull-through effect and contributed to it improve sales by up to 2,350%, at least according to Amazon, where it was so successful that it ended up selling out. The offer is also available at other retailers such as Walmart, but it doesn’t seem like it’s coming to Spain at least for now.

Within the first 24 hours after the offer starts More PSVR 2 units have been sold than in the last seven monthsa fact that speaks volumes for the role that the selling price played as a deterrent to potential consumers considering purchasing this VR set.
