Report me if I continue to console war
The first kinect sold 8 million in its first 60 days.
Granted it was half the price, but it does put things into perspective.

PSVR selling better than its competitiors is good news for Sony.

It also had shitty novelty that didn't keep anyone's attention for more than a week. VR is transformative tech

The Virtua Boy sold only 770,000 units total.
What I'm saying is your comparison has no correlation. You're taking a random peripheral from the near past and comparing it to a completely different technology. Kinect was cheap and advertised for non-gamers. It's a casual throw away device. VR isn't that, it takes one minute to find that some of the smartest people in the business are interested and working on VR. Some of you seem too young to see what an emerging technology looks like, that or you're just not paying attention.
Also, research your pricing. PSVR was 400 dollars for a long time, just now is it 300 bucks for the bundle. So no, not close to half price.

Nice, I'm glad to see it's selling.

That just seems so bad to me. Not just for psvr but for vr in general. If it's the best selling one and it's sold so little it j7st proves more for me that vr isn't going anywhere

I'll prob jump in next Black Friday...to either the PSVR + PS4 Pro if theres a discounted bundle...or the Oculus. I prefer the Vive over both, but surprisingly Valve/HTC dont seem to be making it price competitive.

Yes I've played quite a bit of VR, on PSVR and Oculus. Please stop that tired trend of calling everyone who disagrees with you a troll. It just makes you yourself a troll not worth responding too...

Considering the Vita sold an estimated 10-15 million in 6 years and they killed that off before that time, it doesn't look great.
They need to bite the bullet and lower the price more to get people on board for me.
It's still way too expensive.

Totally understand that now that my friend let me borrow his whole setup.....besides my PS4Pro. The sense of scale and depth is pretty spectacular. My only real problem with it is the resolution. Even playing on the Pro its not very crisp. But the immersion is pretty incredible.

If you're prone to motion sickness, it may never get better, but if it's VR only, it may be worth it to try and get your VR legs.

So when PS5 inevitably drops
will we all have to buy new VR headsets or will it be compatible with the new hardware? (and possibly make greater use of it?)

I would like to think Sony would carry over the use of the headset, when i played Elite on my PC using the PSVR headset the image is very sharp in comparison, no reason why this should'nt be the case for a PS5.

I'd expect a new platform, if they feel there's momentum enough to continue their VR support.
Backward compatibility should be easy/feasible, but I wouldn't bet on it. Especially if they switch to better tracking methods, which are unfortunately sorely needed.

Yeah, based on accuracy, freedom of movement/placement and cost, I'd expect lighthouse style tracking. If they don't develop their own, I bet they straight-up license Valve's.
If they do that, and a 120hz 4k screen for each eye, they'll have a headset that would last a long time.
They need to keep the RGB subpixel structure though.
