Sony Pauses PSVR2 Production After Lackluster Sales Compared to Rivals
• Sony has temporarily halted production of new PSVR2 units due to low sales - only 300,000 of 2 million produced have sold since launch in February 2023
• PSVR2 is limited to PS5 console, which has a more limited VR game library compared to multi-platform options
• Competing VR headsets like Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision offer lower price points and wider compatibility, overshadowing PSVR2
• Lackluster PSVR2 sales come despite Sony unveiling a new “xtended reality” headset for professionals at CES 2023
• Sony targeted production of 2 million PSVR2 units initially, but sales have dramatically undershot expectations
