While it is still unknown from when and at what price the PlayStation VR 2 will be marketed, Sony Interactive Entertainment would see things big for its new virtual reality headset. Indeed, if we are to believe our colleagues from Bloomberg, the Japanese manufacturer intends to produce more than two million copies by March 2023, an ambition that seems to ignore the shortage currently affecting the electronic components. Moreover, according to some sources, mass production would have started last September without, for the moment, any supply problems having been to be deplored. The paper specifies that the factories could be more or less solicited depending on the success of the PlayStation VR 2 which, we recall, will land in early 2023.
If Sony Interactive Entertainment has opted for this window, it is anything but a coincidence. Concretely, he would estimate that this is when stocks of the PS5 should regain color, which will then allow him to launch a major marketing campaign given that the console and the PlayStation VR 2 will line the shelves. . For the record, the Japanese firm intends to accompany the launch of the beast with around twenty games, some of which are already known (No Man's Sky, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil Village among others).
Finally, as Bloomberg points out, the first PlayStation VR took eight months to total one million copies sold. No doubt Sony Interactive Entertainment wants to do much better with its successor.
