These sales figures are in contrast to earlier speculation about the performance of PSVR 2. Reports had suggested that pre-orders for the headset were lacklustre, and some analysts predicted a lower financial year target for Sony. However, Sony’s positive sales report indicates that the demand for PSVR 2 may be stronger than initially anticipated.
While some analysts remain cautious about the VR market’s current economic climate, Sony’s commitment to PSVR 2 suggests that the company believes in its potential. SIE president Jim Ryan stated that it is too early to judge the market performance of PSVR 2, indicating that Sony is dedicated to supporting and growing the VR headset’s demand.
