PS VR data chart
The head of Asia’s gaming division in Asia, Japan, said on Wednesday that the company’s VR (virtual reality/virtual reality) headset has sold more than 1 million units worldwide, helping the product to gain early lead due to relatively low prices. .
When interviewed by Mr. Sheng Tianhou, president of Sony Internet Entertainment (SIE) Japan and Asia, the sale of PlayStation VR headsets launched last October has exceeded our expectations.
“We are increasing production, so we should be able to solve the problem of insufficient supply,†Sheng Tian Hou told Reuters.
This stock sales support analysts' views. Analysts believe that Sony took advantage of the lower price and flagship PlayStation 4 (PS4) console with nearly 60 million users, and was in a good position to establish the initial lead in the high-end VR headset competition.
Sony's VR headset can be used with the PS4. No other new equipment is needed. The retail price is $399, which is cheaper than the Oculus Rift, which is $599 for Facebook, and the $799 Vive for Taiwan's HTC.
According to Research Institute International Data (IDC), around 2 million VR headsets were shipped globally from January to March this year. Excluding the cheaper headset-based devices based on smartphones, Sony took the lead with 429,000 units.
Sheng Tianhou emphasized that Sony is still at the beginning of Sony's long-term vision for VR. Sony hopes that VR will eventually replace the TV's capabilities.
"I think VR is the (greatest) technological innovation since the birth of TV." He said. “VR allows people to travel around world cultural sites or experience space without going out. It's like a time machine or an arbitrary door.†(End) (Reuters.CN)
