And both not gaining large interests outside enthusiast groups and not moving headsets. Which is why frims are downgrading their outlook for this year for VR because nothing is moving.
GT7 and RE V arent gaining interest amongst VR gamers and you know this how? How do you know how many PSVR 2 headsets they are moving? Lets at least wait until we see figures for both/either instead of guessing.
Talking about headsets you know nothing about or the specs calling them underpowered based on feelings.
It's based on what tech is available at a certain price point that will run as a mobile device (requires battery that wont run out in 30 minutes and needs to keep heat to a very minimum) and can run VR. These headsets standalone will be underpowered compared to PS5 and PC, this isnt 'feelings' this is logic.
So much so they launched with two, and had 90%+ quest ports, but were still going to pretend Sony's strategy was hybrid games? Sony isn't dumb, they know who they have to also get on board to increase overall sales to have significant market share, just like the PSVR1.
That's called having content, they arent going to release a headset with 2-3 games, come on, use your noggin. But look what Sony did release, GT7 and Horizon: Call of the Mountain, both games up there graphically with the best VR games ever released and one of those is a hybrid game. Lets see what they have in store for the rest of the generation (hopefully a glimpse of that whenever they do their next showcase)
Hybrid games...

Which is no different form other headsets like Quest.
How many AAA games have Occulus and other headset manufacturers made outside of Valve made? (flat screen or VR) do they compete with PlayStation on that front?
No. We have 10 years of facts and 10 years of data. Everything you said is literally something you have no backing for or hasn't worked and you're pretending this will now changed based on nothing.
VR is factually down right now, this list factually has Kayak VR at the top along with PavLov and a bundled game at number 3.
VR is having a decline in units right now, and the Quest 2 is also declining.
Sony has never pushed any hybrid strategy, there is no evidence based on the past, or their current actions that is there strategy, you're claiming it is based on hope, just like your belief hybrid is going to sell headsets when it's not going to justify to most people who need to buy the headset outside the hardcore in online gaming communities like this forum, who can't sustain headset sales by themselves.
You are HOPING the thing YOU want to see will change things, without considering that you're in a minority. This goes for VR in general, this isn't a SOny PSVR2 thing as some people like to deflect to because they are incredibly excited for the headset, but this is a universal
Yes, a bundled game at number 3, so the sales of that bundled game aren't counted and GT7 and RE V cant be on that list because they aren't native VR games (which is stupid, they are still VR games, however plenty of PS5 owners who are interested in those probably already have those games, still, I wouldn't be surprised if they have had sales bumps)
Again, not 'hope' Sony have said this themselves (refer to previous link) they want to go down the hybrid/AAA route, that does not mean they won't also have casual games, obviously (heck, Horizon is casual), but that does not mean that their own first party VR only efforts won't be AAA quality even if still casual in nature but at the ease they could release hybrid games it makes it a no brainer. The difference between PSVR and PSVR 2 in regards to this is that for PSVR there were two SDK's, one for PS4 and one for PSVR which complicated development, with PSVR 2 its a single SDK. It's been designed so that developers can port games over to PSVR 2 easily, not just VR games but flat screen games also.
(actually, yes, hope, I hope Sony smash it out of the park with VR this time around, Last of Us, Killzone, Resistance, WipeOut, more Astrobot, more Horizon, Twisted Metal, Ratchet and Clank, SOCOM, Returnal, Syphon Filter, Warhawk, MLB, Destiny, Uncharted, I could go on, I personally want to see those types of games in VR whats wrong with that? and if I'm the minority then I don't want to be the majority)
