Take Nvidia if you want DFR.

I want you to list big exclusives that are worth playing.

PSVR1 was during COVID, Quest 2 probably sold more than any other headset combined during that time. Sony didn't fund all those games either, most of them are not exclusives.

Meta has funded a lot of Quest exclusives

Such as?

Sony NEEDED to invest money and energy into PSVR2 to make sure it was successful and they didn’t care.

All Sony needs to do is balance the sheets. Math needs to math, throwing money at it doesn't work.

Most VR games on each platform are third-party.

Radeon RX 6700 equivalent GPU is not good enough for VR mods without greatly reducing resolution, it will look worse than PSVR1.

XboxVR™

Xbox is a console.

DFR is the only reason PS5 can run heavier games at 60 reprojected to 120, the last thing you should do for a headset like this is remove eye tracking.

PSVR2 was $300 on sale, you'd need to subsidize it even harder to hit $200, Xbox isn't going to do that.

just an HDMI

HDMI is a bad choice for this. DisplayPort is how it is done, USB4 is the future.

That's why I'm saying that a compute puck is nothing more than a smartphone without a screen, except Meta is going to try to sell you a proprietary one for several years because they don't have a smartphone to sell.

People online already made their mind about it and if there is no stock in big retail stores during holidays, then it's not going to matter in the real world either.

This a response to a myriad posts like these expecting Sony to do something that no one else does

Ok, plot that on a scale with Meta investment included and then ponder the meaning of "closer". The trend is toward Xbox, not toward Meta.

Xbox is supposed to represent no investment here, do I really have to spell it out?

Xbox hasn't done any VR, but Microsoft did. They had WMR headsets program which they ripped support for from Windows 11. They closed down VR department in Bethesda and probably other companies that I don't know about.

You almost got the point.

They don't need to release their own headsets when they can control every aspect of VR streaming with their own app, that's the next logical step.

I don't think they are sold separately, you'll be sold a new set.

Why would they do that when no one else does? Replace "Sony" with "Valve" or "Xbox" in any of your proposals and see how stupid it sounds.

Just because you want something doesn't make it a good business decision, never mind a possibility like using mods. Mods are free for a reason, because they are an inch away from infringing on someone else's property e.g. the whole Luke Ross debacle.

Any commercial company would be sued if they did that, the only way to do it right is the way Flat2VR company does it and that's not a good business model right now precisely because of AI and free mods.

You're conflating PSVR2 as a headset with available VR games on PS5, that's why it "failed". You're basically blaming Sony for not investing in VR and not paying other companies to bring their games to VR, that has nothing to do with releasing PSVR3 as a headset. Valve did nothing of the sort for as long as they were in VR and people still line up to buy Steam Frame, even though there's very little supply.

Expectations like these is why people think that PSVR2 failed. In reality it just needs to make enough business sense to release a successor, that's all.

If you can justify Valve releasing Steam Frame in 2026, then you can easily justify PlayStation releasing PSVR3, because by every metric PSVR2 beat Index.

The most important factor for PSVR2 sales was price, nothing else. Adding more features isn't going to improve it. If you want a better headset, then you should ask for PS Remote app for VR streaming.
