Bloomberg, citing two people familiar with the matter, writes that Sony has halted production of the Playstation VR 2 until a backlog of unsold units is cleared. According to the sources, Sony has produced well over 2 million units.

    Release to PC and I’m buying day one.Windows Mixed Reality is shutting down, the Vive is ancient and the Index is getting up there as well, and don’t want to have a Meta Black Box of my personal data strapped to my head.

    I just want that sweet sweet oled with minimal screen door, all they need to do is get the software going.

      I figured it would be Nintendo who would be the ones to release a fully VR console eventually and finally flip that switch but seems like they’re bearish on it too

        I think the fact that SOME people get nauseous is a big issue for the whole genre.

          The absurd thing is that it even depends on the game. I’ve initially tried without any problems the crappy phone vr with… the iPhone 5s, I think? Then the first PS VR on a base PS4, and titles known to upset people like EVE Valkyrie and Drive Club had no effect on me. “Comfort settings” typically meant just blinding me without a reason. Then, 20 minutes of Arizona Sunshine… and I wasn’t able to stomach the thought of vr for almost a year.
