Sony’s new toy, PSVR 2, seems far from meeting its sales targets, at least according to a prominent VR analyst. According to IDC VR analyst Francisco Jeronimo, PSVR 2 will sell 300,000 units by the end of March 2023. Jeronimo gave Bloomberg an explanation as to why the PS5 title may be underperforming.
“Consumers around the world are facing rising costs of living, rising interest rates and rising layoffs,” says Jeronimo. “For most consumers in the current economic environment, VR headsets are not the first thing that comes to mind.”
Jeronimo also adds that Sony could make significant reductions in the price of the PSVR 2 to avoid “a real disaster.”
It is a fact that it is too early to say disappointment to PSVR 2, which has been on the shelves for just over a month. However, PS4’s PlayStation VR managed to sell close to a million units in its first four months on sale. But it should be noted that the original title is at a much lower price point.
