I get ending support for older platforms as they've already done that in the past but ps5 too really feels like Facebok making a power move.
I remember last year Bloomberg reported that Sony had paused production of PSVR2’s due to too many unsold units. Idk when/if Sony restarted production, but it may be the case of dropping older platforms and there not being enough engagement on the newer platform.
I would say it is very unlikely that psvr 2 engagement is too low when it is always the chart topper on psn and countless vr developers have come out and directly said their games sell better on psn than any other platform. Games that all chart lower than beat saber. Plus devs confirmed that PSVR2 reached at least 2 million units sold since mid last year and 2 millino was bloomberg's original claim for psvr 2 production numbers.
Bloomberg also used IDC as a source for psvr 2 sales but IDC's nubmers were quickly proven to be way off. It's clear IDC doesn't have access to PS Direct sales numbers.
Gotcha! That would be an insane power move if Facebook was able to coerce the Beat Saber devs to agreeing to such a thing.
They own the studio now and have switched ears overall into cost cutting. So i'm expecting it to be a brand consolidation move.
