Sony's Shuhei Yoshida argues that Oculus & Morpheus aren't only competitors; in fact, devs of the former are basically prototyping for the latter.
For Southeast Asia, new price changes.
Prices effective starting May 1st, 2026.
Replies(1)Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses
Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price
LMFAO Your comment alone says a lot more about you than anything else. When has one game not selling 10 million copies made a company raise the prices of their console? Then Xbox would be costing $5000 by now lol. You remind of the crazy drug addicts on the street rambling on about conspiracies. xD You sure you don't need a hug, buddy?
One game that Sony payed $200 million for. lol
Also, you sure were quick to get triggered. Maybe your the one who needs a hug?
If nothing else, we should be united against the real issue here. AI and unnecessary tariffs that are effecting all gamers.
The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.
War is causing gas prices to rise. Transport of everything requires gas so the prices of those items go up as well. So it does have an impact
The blockage of the Straight of Hormuz due to the US-Iran war has affected raw components used in semi-conductor manufacturing such as bromine, aluminum, and helium. Iran had attacked the liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in Qatar which is a large producer (1/3 globally) of helium which is used in semiconductor etching. So it's the both the war and the RAM crises.
A classic genre takes on new life in VR, so here's a rundown of the best VR platformer games available in 2026.
Can’t be a good list without astro bot and moss and moss book 2 they are the cream of the crop.
If his choices are as good as those 3 games then I gotta try the rest of his list
Former head of PlayStation Studios Shuhei Yoshida has shared why releasing first-party games on PC day one is bad strategy for PlayStation.
Technically horizon came out in 2020 under Jim Ryan who took over in 2019
It's hard to tell who initiated the project but the Decima engine makes porting to PC fairly easy so who honestly knows if this was Jim's initiative or not I get the feeling it was
It's actually not hard at all. Shawn Layden said he started it. Shawn Layden has confirmed that he was behind the strategy to bring PlayStation exclusive games to PC. Regardless of whether you hate Jim or not this wasn't his idea. It happened during his watch, but it was started before he took over. Below are links with him confirming it started with him

Fake news. He didnt say that.This video was posted on YouTube and on here they decided to change the title. Shame on you.
At 5:16, he literally states the thing you say he doesn’t say. Did you even watch the video?
Sony already said they weren't porting to PC anymore. Or, at least that is how I interpreted a couple of articles. I think if it were not for Helix, that may not have happened.
I'm still not fully sold on VR (and yes, I have tried the new Oculus devkit). It won't be easy to top 4K clarity if VR still produces dizziness and graphics artifacts.
Obviously since Oculus allows developers and people interested in the rift to try it out and work with it unlike the morpheus which is all locked up and top secret.
Shu is a smart man. His logic is sound and it doesn't come off as a slight to Oculus. If Morpheus was announced as pc compatible...then they would have a serious issue.
So basically Sony is bragging about how much they're going to benefit from all the hard work put in by Oculus.
No, they are competing for the same space. That "space" doesn't exist yet. Not only that, they are on different platforms. And given how expensive VR will be over the next few years the markets in the beginning will much more defined.
That's what they both want at the start. Sony builds a foundation for a market on consoles and OVR builds one on the PC. Once an overall market becomes a reality, then they can start pushing for the same "spaces", whatever they may be.
Sony has they right ideas here. They are being very serious about VR. They know that trying to be the "winner" will only be bad for VR. Its going to take slowly building a market where one doesn't exist.
VR is going to be a tough sell, and while I have no interest in the Morpheus, I am thankful it exists. Without it VR has no chance. Same is true for the Rift. With both, VR has a fighting chance.
