Even with the newest bundle launched in March of this year that means that PSVR has roped in somewhere in the region of $900m+ for Sony at the very least, and that's just for the Hardware, 22million games sold for the device is nothing to turn your nose up to.
900 million in revenue... which is pretty meaningless without knowing how much each unit actually costs, what r&d cost, marketing costs, etc. They could easily be in the red on this.
I May get one if it lowers its price.
Decent numbers for what it is, but VR is not going to be anything other than a niche for a long time. But hey the people with PSVR buy many games for the platform so my guess is that its at least viable enough for Sony to make PSVR 2 for the PS5.
