THE DUCK
voted poster of the decade by bots
Canada having units in stock has absolutely zero to do with anything. PS5 has units in stock, doesn't mean that having retail units AND online options doesn't yield more sales. The point is, it outperformed PSVR1 despite that. I could go in and try and demo kiosk of PSVR1 the first month and buy one that same day. Nada for PSVR2.
Your user base argument makes even less sense. 35 million vs 52 million means nothing because "VR market grew." What? You mean standalone VR grew, which is very different altogether. People who buy standalone wireless units to play beat saber aren't crossing over in droves to buy a wired VR unit attached to a PS5 for RE8 and GT7.
And it was more expensive.
In an affluent country where PS5's sell like hotcakes and the median income is high, you think it not selling here is a sign of success?
Having a demo kiosk wouldn't affect sales a whole lot.
As to units sold, I was talking about PS5 units, and potential buyers being smaller, but that's massively outweighed by the fact that there should be more people interested in VR at this point, 7 years later, and a vastly superior experience.
So your saying it's your position that VR isn't a larger market overall than in 2016? If that's true than "regular" VR is indeed doomed to be small market a long, long time.
And lastly, no, it wasn't more expensive, it was $399 (adjusted value for inflation is $499, time value of money matters) plus $75 for motion controllers. So it was about $599 vs $549 for PSVR2.
