Here’s a glance at the news report from Bloomberg on Sony’s VR Headset plans:
- Sony Group Corp. eyes an opportunity in the virtual reality headset arena.
- The Playstation giants take an ambitious call after average sales of VR Headsets so far.
- They cite a surge in demand for the tech gadget soon and thereby attempt to embrace themselves.
- They haven’t faced any supply chain constraints since starting the manufacturing of one of the coolest gadgets in recent times.
- Share Market welcomed the idea with a 2.4% climb in the share prices in Tokyo on Monday, the highest in the past 6 weeks.
- Sony’s idea behind the PSVR2 anticipates much more popularity than the company’s earlier PlayStation VR headset for the PS4 (this indeed took eight months to reach a million sales which are worrying signs, per experts).
- The official dates of the launch and other pricing components of the PSVR2 are not yet disclosed.
- “A key to success is the quality of the games Sony will be able to develop,” said Tokyo-based analyst Serkan Toto of Kantan Games. “The other critical point will be the price: spec-wise, the PSVR2 is a beast, and some users already expect it to cost as much as a PS5 itself.”
- Sony Group plans to manufacture nearly 2 million VR headsets units by March 2023.
