Sony PlayStation VR won’t arrive in early 2016 but rather this autumn
Those rumours came from GameStop CEO Paul Raines, who this week told Fox Business that it would sell the device in the fall, suggesting a Q3/Q4 launch instead.
Tuesday morning, you can easily find a dozen stories about how the CEO of GameStop blabbed that Sony‘s PlayStation VR headset won’t ship until fall, which would be a significant delay from its expected summer release. It wouldn’t be in the best interests of either party to admit that the PlayStation VR has been delayed. It will coincide with the company’s biggest exclusives and it also comes out during a time when many people will be buying presents. Here are all the details surrounding the virtual reality headset, from the rumored price to the games in line.
Since there are only a few requirements to optimize virtual reality gaming with the PlayStation VR, Venture Beat reported that as many as 36 million players can already take advantage of VR gaming once PlayStation VR launches.
Sony has yet to confirm a hard release date for their upcoming PlayStation VR headset. In fact, after splitting with Konami and partnering with Sony to make a PlayStation exclusive title, Kojima has expressed interest in making a VR game, which would definitely help sales of the unit whenever it releases.
The virtual reality headset from Sony that is set to revolutionise PS4 gaming, Project Morpheus is now PlayStation VR.
Virtual reality has arrived in 2016. Whilst talking about the industry he says: “We are right now preparing for the launches of the major VR products, so we’re in discussions with Oculus, with HTC Vive and with Sony”.
Those looking for a VR headset should also not forget the words of Sony’s PlayStation VR chief Dr. Richard Marks. We’re now in discussions with Oculus, with HTC Vive, and with Sony. In all likelihood, though, Sony will probably try to bring the price down to something a lot more reasonable before it hits retail shelves for consumers.
