PS4 is great, and PSVR/Neo will drive hype - but Sony's success is also down to its competitors' failures giving it a clear run at a thriving market.
A classic genre takes on new life in VR, so here's a rundown of the best VR platformer games available in 2026.

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.
I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?
That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
Skyworld: Kingdom Brawl, one of the best RTS card battlers in VR is shutting down this July, developer Vertigo Games has confirmed.
As much as the writer makes many valid points that are true, the statement "...Sony's success is also down to its competitors' failures..." is contentious as one can make the argument that the competitors have failed precisely because Sony has executed a plan that has been flawless backed by exclusives that have driven the console forward even further, including 'Infamous: Second Son', 'Bloodborne' and 'Uncharted 4', the latter being the biggest exclusive on the PS4 thus far. Sony learnt much from the hubris that led to the PS3 and being gamer-centric was one of the lessons that has served the company well. The PS4 was always meant to be used for gaming primarily unlike the Xbox One which was designed to signify a shift in strategy from Xbox where the console was a single user interface to all entertainment in your living room coupled with draconian anti-consumer policies that discouraged game sharing and pushed towards more spending by the consumer on services behind a paywall. The simplicity offered by the PS4 coupled with the knowledge gamers have that Sony will always have excellent first party games, something that has been true from the days of PS1, are the reasons why Sony has been successful.
That's some good news there...the bad news is that they failed at everything else...
laptop, tv, cellphone etc....I thought diversity was suppose to be the strength of a company?
This was a solid read. While the article stated the obvious, it certainly left room for the imagination. In ones opinion, Microsoft truly needs to build upon a great foundation from this point moving forward, a foundation that should be represented by a barrage of quality first party titles, and not just the conveyor belt approach of simply a few recognizable franchises from last-gen. They need to hit hard in this department. This is something Sony has masterfully established with SWS, Sony Worldwide Studios. As we know, multiplatform titles at this point only help offset console purchase loss for Microsoft. This is a good thing, yet it has no influence on the market when the competition is raging like the PS4. Every move Microsoft makes at this point with the Xbox One should be in an effort to build a positive perception of the Xbox brand as an uber gaming portal with irresistible and unique video game offerings, again multiplatform titles only means you've showed up. Ushering in a positive mind share for gaming's next generation is ultimately founded on the unique gaming experiences of the previous generation.
'Sony success is also down to its competiors' failures 'AND the competitors failure is also down to Sony success.
I think that was a good point the first year but after all the changes in xbox offering and new direction widely praised by the media Id say the PS4 success has been earned on its own merits.
Sony need to sell or kill off the TV and Cell phone business like they did with the VAIO laptop.
Those two things aew bleeding money and are surviving off the P$4 money.
