PSVR2 is "kind of screwed" without more first-party titles, analyst claims
"These dozen or so games will not carry a $550 peri🌞pheral for a console"

If the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PSVR2 wants to outsell its predecessor, Sony will have to provide more of a reason for VR enthusiasts to purchase it,▨ according to one analyst.
In Edge Magazine is𒈔sue 380, games analyst George Jijiashvili sug⛦gests rough times lie ahead for Sony's newest VR headset unless it "show[s its] own first-party commitment to this device."
According to Jijiashvili's predictions, the PSVR2 will sell 1.6 million units in 2023. That's a sizable drop from the 1.9 million PSVRs sold in 2017. With the global chip shortage showing signs of improvement, however, Jijiashvili recognizes that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:increased access to the PS5 could bolster sales of the PSVR2 as well. This would hopeful𒀰ly take the active installed playerbase to 10 million users by 2027; an "optimistic" estimate, Jijiashvili says. His hopes are predicated on the assumption "that Sony can deliver some really compelling games to drive sales in 2023."
Jijiashvili suggests that the potential issue is that there are 🍌too few PSVR2 exclusives oღn offer to justify the hefty pricetag, especially if you already own a similar next-gen headset.
With the PSVR2 slated to launch this month, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon: Call of the Mountain is one of the few games set for its day-one release alongside the headset. Meanwhile, the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Dark Pictures Anthology: Switchback⛄have already been pushed back to March 16, 2023, and most other games on the roster have been remastered from their Meta Quest 2 and original꧑ PSVR versions.
In Jijiashvili's opinion, writes Edge, Sony is targeting an enthusiast market with PSVR2. If Call of the Mountain is the only first-party game to release on day one, "then they're kind of screwed," he says. "These dozen or so games [...] will not carry a $550🌳 peripheral for a console."
