Sony Interactive Entertainment has commented on the latest Bloomberg report and has denied any statements about the reduced production volume.
In a few weeks, Sony Interactive Entertainment will herald the new generation of its own virtual reality headset with the PlayStation VR2. However caused later today a report by the business magazine Bloomberg worry lines.
The editors had reported that Sony had significantly lowered the sales forecast after the previously sobering number of pre-orders. Instead of the supposedly forecast two million sales, the video game magnate is now expected to sell one million headsets. The company itself had never confirmed these numbers. In fact, Bloomberg itself had put them into circulation.
Sony contradicts the recent reports
However, that wasn’t the only thing Bloomberg claimed in the article. Rather, Sony is said to have informed the suppliers that the order quantity for any production parts could be lower than initially expected. This would mean that fewer PlayStation VR2 headsets would be made, which could again lead to PlayStation 5-like supply shortages if demand suddenly spikes.
Meanwhile, the company has faced GamesIndustry.biz issued a statement contradicting the Bloomberg report. The production volume was not reduced.
Instead, you can see “the enthusiasm of PlayStation fans for the upcoming release, which includes more than 30 games such as Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Call of the Mountain and Resident Evil Village.”
Accordingly, players who may want to wait until later to hit PlayStation VR2 need not worry that support could also end early. Nevertheless, the price of 599.99 euros is not to be scoffed at. If you take an additional 50 euros in hand, you can also sign up Pre-order the bundle with Horizon: Call of the Mountain. You also need a PlayStation 5, which increases the total cost to over 1,000 euros.
