The PlayStation VR2 is scheduled for release next month and based on the information Sony has provided it is already clear the company did not learn the right lessons from the PlayStation 5. The new VR hardware will retail at $550.00 USD, and it requires a PS5 console to function. This makes PSVR2 an expensive purchase that asks consumers to take too much on faith. Even though PS5 console scarcity has improved, they are still not readily available through mainstream retailers. For those who do own the elusive PS5, paying more than the console itself for a VR add-on is a dubious value at best.
When the original PSVR sold more than 3 million units it was a milestone, and Sony’s VR hardware outsold its competitors at the time. The PSVR has hundreds of games available, and when the PS5 launched it offered adaptors so that the gaming library could be played on Sony’s current generation console. The PlayStation 4 sold more than 100 million, however, and has upward of 3,000 games. Sony took steps to leverage the success of the PS4 to add value to the PS5, but it seems that the same model is not going to apply to the second generation PlayStation VR, which severely diminishes its value.

PSVR2 549 + PS5

Stupid argument.
It's very big money. But I think if Sony pushes development with games into VR enough this could be a big breakthrough.
I bought it just for GT7. The idea of having the entire game in VR blows my mind.
It’s about the same price as PSVR1 with controllers and you don’t need a camera but it’s the most feature rich headset at 1/3 of the price of most high end headsets .
The majority of the best PSVR games are getting upgrades and most are free .
PS5 stock has increased significantly . I have seen them in stores a couple times now before I never saw one . They don’t last long but it’s not super difficult to get one like before .
The one thing Sony needs to do is support it with high end games like they are starting out with , GT7 VR full game, Call of the Mountain , RE8 . They need to keep those types of games coming and that’s going to be the difference . But they are starting out with a nice launch library just keep the games coming and adoption will rise
Dumb article
I bought psvr 1 and whilst it gathers dust now people would come over specifically to try it and they were always amazed. Now I'm holding off. Personally I want to play regular games in vr with a controller to enjoy them that way. That's how I played re7 and it was incredible. I'm not keen on jumping around my lounge room. I hope psvr2 can handle aaa titles that aren't just curated for vr from the ground up. I'm cautiously optimistic and I do want it but I won't be an early adopter.
