Sony Denies It Is Cutting PSVR2 Shipments aka fukk Bloomberg

[Fatboi1]

What you want me to say?

I have my thoughts on the comment but I'm not gonna go back and forth with Sony stan gang

So Sony is straw manning Bloomberg? Seems like the article mention sales projections being cut and not actual production which is what Sony disputed. Idk really and don’t care lol

AKA i want this made up forecast to be true so it is!

This is just Xbots trying to spin the denial. They wouldn’t manufacture headsets they don’t think they can sell. Companies don’t store extra units in warehouses they ship directly to retailers. So if they reduce their sales forecast they would reduce their production.

Remember at launch when Bloomberg claimed PS5s were over heating and had only a 50% yield

Still waiting on that Switch Pro too.

Just gonna quote this from one of the tweets

The original story never said cutting production it was about cutting sales expectations, which Sony never denied. Instead, they come out with an unrelated statement about production. How is this so hard to grasp? Sony is pulling a slide of hand with words.

Sony never gave a number for shipments in the first place. That argument doesn’t even hold

Bloomberg made up a number and then cut it in half to what it probably actually is

This thing is not going to do crazy numbers. Don't set yourself up for failure.

Who thinks it going to do crazy numbers? Even Bloomberg initial story only had 2 million units. VR is a niche market. Some of us just like VR and are excited for another great head set to hit the market.

The narrative and back and forth about shipments for this product don't seem worth the time to fanboy about is all. It's a matter of wording and semantics. I don't know if I can call it a potential flop, because I don't know how successful Sony thinks it will be. That's why I'm reading the comments like... it doesn't really matter

I honestly couldn't care less if they cut production or projections.
As much as I love PSVR and the platform overall, I think this is bad timing on Sony's part.
I've said before that Sony should have waited a bit more for the PS5's to be more easily accessible on store shelfs before releasing PSVR2.
This peripheral is too expensive for the majority of people to purchase within the first year of them purchasing the console itself.
On top of that, the AAA games on PSVR2 are too limited right now for most people to justify the purchase.
RE8 will keep people entertained for 20+ hours. The majority of the other games look like they are going to be 5 ish hours of an experience that while being dope, will be short lived and those types of games aren't going to shift the market like Sony needs to do.
Sideline Sony stans can tase me later. I actually own a PSVR and pretty much every game that matters for it.

It was destined for failure and anybody with an unbiased view would have saw that from the jump

People get mad if you compare VR to 3D but they both have the same limitations when it comes to mainstream appeal. Expensive, not that much content, and the biggest huddle of them all: nobody wants to wear extra shyt to enjoy their entertainment. VR offers a way more immersive experience than 3D so it can sell more but it's always going to have a ceiling on what it can do because of the helmet.

They fukked up not having everything from the first one compatible with this new one. Obviously, the price is a bigger deal but no backwards compatibility is the foremost reason I didn't get one yet.
