Bloomberg reports that Sony is pausing production of new PS VR2 units until it can sell the current backlog of unsold units.
According to a Bloomberg report, Sony has paused the production of new PS VR2 units until they can sell the current backlog of unsold units.
Bloomberg’s anonymous sources revealed that sales have slowed since the virtual reality device’s launch in early 2023. As such, unsold units have been piling up. To date, Sony has made over two million PS VR2 units.
Macquarie analyst Yijia Zhai provided Bloomberg with an explanation of the troubles encountered by PS VR2:
The high price of VR hardware acts as the main hurdle for its expansion. Currently, there are limited games that support VR devices, and that will also lead to lack of motivation for players to purchase VR hardware.
