After weeks of conflicting reports about PlayStation VR2 sales, Sony has chimed in to report sales of the spendy new headset are outpacing the first-gen.
Sony never got deep into the metaverse, a supposed VR-based successor to the internet that was all anyone could talk about in 2022. The metaverse has since cooled, leaving gaming as the primary use case for virtual reality. Sony is reporting some surprising success there. After weeks of conflicting reports about PlayStation VR2 sales, Sony has chimed in to report sales of the spendy new headset are outpacing the first-gen.
In a recent presentation, Sony’s Game and Network business (which includes PlayStation) revealed sales figures (PDF) for the first six weeks of PSVR 2 availability. The company says it sold just under 600,000 units. The sales figures reported by Sony represent an 8% increase compared to sales during the first six weeks of availability for the original PSVR headset.
