Slow seller: Sony makes PS VR2 significantly cheaper
One man's sorrow is another man's joy: because Sony's PSVR2 is reportedly not selling as hoped, the PlayStation manufacturer is now lowering the price of the virtual reality headset. Gamers can look forward to a substantial discount.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Gamers who have not yet ventured into virtual reality with their PS5 will soon have a new incentive to do so, according to a statement from Sony on Friday. This is because "from March", the recommended retail price (RRP) of the VR headset in Europe will be reduced from around 600 to 450 euros. The start date of the new prices may vary depending on the country and region, it said.
Sony launched the PSVR2 at the beginning of 2023. Soon after, the first reports began to circulate that sales figures were falling short of expectations - probably due to the high price, but also due to a lack of suitable blockbuster titles.
In March 2024, Bloomberg even reported, citing insiders, that production had been temporarily halted in order to reduce stocks that had built up due to a lack of buyers.
