Sony Pauses PS VR2 Production Amid Weak Sales and Large Inventory Backlog
- Sony has reportedly paused production of the PS VR2 headset due to a large inventory backlog of over 2 million unsold units
- PS VR2 sales slowed significantly throughout 2022, with only 325,200 units sold in Q4 according to IDC
- A lack of compelling games is seen as a key reason for weak PS VR2 demand and sales
- Overall, Sony has only released 4 first-party VR games for the PS VR2 platform so far
- At $550, the high PS VR2 price compared to the PS5 console itself is likely deterring potential buyers
