31 Jan. (Portaltic/EP) –
sony group corporation has reduced production of its virtual reality headset PlayStation VR2 (PS VR2) for not having obtained the amount of pre-reserves initially planned, as Bloomberg has recently announced.
The Japanese company presented its new VR helmet in January of last year, whose design was revealed a month later and, during that year, it was advancing details of its operation. Among them, the ability to create custom play areas without removing your headset, as well as the more than 30 first-party and third-party games that will accompany its launch.
Last November, Sony announced that PSVR2 would be launched on the market on February 22, 2023, and at the end of that same month opened the viewfinder pre-order via the PlayStation Direct digital store.
These pre-reservations would not have had the expected reception by the technology manufacturer, which has seen the need to reduce the production of its new VR helmet, according to Bloomberg has pointed out.
This medium reminds that Sony’s initial forecasts rose to two million viewers of virtual reality for the quarter of its launch, as confirmed by sources close to the company in October of last year.
Thus, the company plans to ship around 1.5 million units between April and March of next year, although the manufacturer will change the number of units produced according to the demand that is registered during this time.
