ty mods

 

[ChiefDada]

Uh...

 

[XesqueVara]

FFS i messed the thread title it should be 8% more than psvr in the same title.

 

[Pelta88]

8% more in the same timeframe?

 

[mhirano]

Never knew PSVR1 sold -200.000

 

[Romulus]

If true, it did this WITHOUT retail units in stores and LESS ps5s on the market than ps4s when the psvr1 launched.

VR dead.

 

[XXL]

Lots of Crow to be eaten here.

 

[XesqueVara]

800K more in the same time frame?

Messed the Title should be 8% more in the same time frame, but i fucking messed it because of how many times i had to redo the Title thread because of inserting a image.

 

[adamsapple]

PSVR2 sold 600k, 800k more than PSVR in the same time.​

 

[jhjfss]

 

[Sleepwalker]

OP you had one job

 

[Kacho]

Nailed it

 

[DR3AM]

A Flop

 

[xiskza]

Mochizuki from Bloomberg taking another L

 

[Ansphn]

That's a success story right there. 600k more than the PSVR1. Sony just need to keep buiding the fan base for VR and continue with top tier VR games. I predict the PSVR2 sell 7-10 million units life time. PSVR3 is when their VR headset takes off.

 

[XesqueVara]

Can a Mod fix the Thread Title?
It should be 8% more than psvr in the same time, but i fumbled it.

Are you happy XesqueVara

 

[MOTM]

Only 8% more than PSVR in the same time frame? Is that supposed to be impressive?

 

[SeraphJan]

I don't know how many VR2 unit will RE4 push, most people that are interested in the game probably already finished it by now.

 

[Romulus]

Only 8% more than PSVR in the same time frame? Is that supposed to be impressive?

When you consider the differences, yeah

 

[Sleepwalker]

Only 8% more than PSVR in the same time frame? Is that supposed to be impressive?

At $150 more per unit. (37.5% increase)

 

[Katatonic]

Still haven’t gotten mine. Hopefully they’ll show some stuff at the show tmrw that’ll push me over the edge.

 

[Varteras]

That thread title

Nailed it

 

[analog_future]

Wow, PSVR1 sold negative 200k units. Absolute failure that was.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

600,000 units sold at $600 in 6 weeks is very impressive. Glad to see it's doing well. I knew the Bloomberg article we saw that said it flopped was bullshit.


I can't wait to see what games Sony announces for it tomorrow. It's off to a great start.

 

[adamsapple]

Please mods, don't edit the title.

VR dead.

As much as you might like to see that as some sort of enormous win, it's not. It's a good bet Sony had expected to sell a lot more than this, and cut their order to match when they saw it wasn't going to move. It's in stock everywhere (in Canada is was in retail stores, and still didn't sell out, despite a higher average income than the U.S).

Yes there was a smaller user base, but it's still 35 Million or so. (52 Million at end of 2016 for PS4) But it's been 7 years since PSVR, and the VR market has grown by about 5X. Yet sales of the PSVR2 being sold at the same rate as PSVR1 is a win?

Why was it expected to sell out or be supply constrained?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

and without games.

 

[THE DUCK]

Why was it expected to sell out or be supply constrained?

Aren't most super hot popular electronics items these days, especially on a launch date?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I love the math in the thread title

 

[THE DUCK]

Before someone jumps in and says the PSVR1 was cheaper and the PSVR2 was more expensive, that's why it's impressive, adjusted for inflation and the cost of motion controllers, the PSVR1 was actually more expensive by just a bit.

 

[LectureMaster]

Can confirm PSVR sold negative 200k in the same time. Indeed a commercial failure.

 

[jroc74]

Well, well, well.....would you look at that.

Pretty good, right?

 

[Three]

No? The PS5 is a hot popular electronic and that's not sold out anymore either. Just because there is good supply doesn't mean it's below expectations or has poor sales.

We need to resurrect Eddie-Griffin to hear his thoughts.

 

[IntentionalPun]

The lines looking like they are going to converge in a couple weeks I'm sure aren't exciting Sony or it's investors too much.

Canada having units in stock has absolutely zero to do with anything. PS5 has units in stock, doesn't mean that having retail units AND online options doesn't yield more sales. The point is, it outperformed PSVR1 despite that. I could go in and try and demo kiosk of PSVR1 the first month and buy one that same day. Nada for PSVR2.

Your user base argument makes even less sense. 35 million vs 52 million means nothing because "VR market grew." What? You mean standalone VR grew, which is very different altogether. People who buy standalone wireless units to play beat saber aren't crossing over in droves to buy a wired VR unit attached to a PS5 for RE8 and GT7.

And it was more expensive. People don't see "omg inflation" it's the same price actually!

The Mooch screwed the pooch again.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

yup it looks like PSVR2 is going to fall behind PSVR pretty soon. Hard to see this as a win when you look at the trajectory.

 

[phaedrus]

FFS i messed the thread title it should be 8% more than psvr in the same title.

At week 6 PSVR was hitting peak holiday shopping season.

For PSVR2 it was early April.
