True, 600k is pretty decent so far though. I thought it would be well below 500k

Yeah, the graph doesn't paint a good picture for the near future - I'm a little surprised they included it!

PSVR 1 one will soon overtake though, since PSVR 2 is flat lining.

The PSVR2 was given a retail release after the period of this graph however, so it remains to be seen what effect that will have on sales trend.

Well that is a pretty good sign considering how much larger the PS4 install base was at the time. Hope it keeps going!

PSVR was released during the Holidays with a much larger installed user base. Plus it was sold in many stores so PSVR2 is doing pretty well!👍

Who could guess that Bloomberg report was so wrong.
Got mine this past week, playing Call of the Wild and it have been great so far.

So Takashi from Bloomberg lied again about Sony as he said PSVR2 was 270k after 5 weeks.

You should do some research before accusing people of lying. He used IDC estimates. If anything, these estimates were simply too low. No lying involved.

When you get an estimate so far of the target that isn't "simply to low" the whole methodology is in question. And considering the same "reporter" made similar claims of poor sales of PS5 (based on insiders) and other equivalent stuff yes saying he is a liar isn't that much off.

I guess that means VR won't get out of the niche anytime soon.
Shame, as I see quite some potential in it.
