Sony has reportedly halted production on PSVR2 due to amassed unsold inventory, according to Takashi Mochizuki (Bloomberg)

I'm still in disbelief how this was basically sent out to die with virtually no support or first party content, it's such a great device on its own.

FWIW, Takashi Mochizuki is the original source of this story.

The tech is great but it's still an expensive peripheral for the budget-conscious console gamers....and VR is just a side business for Sony.

I didn't buy one but what irks me is they couldn't even be bothered to port over their games from the first one.

Nobody living in reality saw this coming LOL!

Another Takashi hit piece. To quote myself from this thread

Just to document his lies and the three times Sony has called him out for lying that I am aware of. It's clear he has an objective to attack Sony's stock price

1) First he claimed PS5 shipments were being cut and this was denied by Sony

Sony's denial: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sony-reportedly-cuts-ps5-production-by-4m-units


2) He also claimed Sony was going to end production of the PS4 but changed their minds because of PS5 production issues. This never happened as Sony never planned to end PS4 production

Takashi: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-12/sony-tackles-playstation-5-shortage-by-making-more-ps4-consoles?leadSource=uverify wall

Sony's denial: https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2022/01/21/sony-never-planning-stop-ps4-production/


3) And most recently he went after PSVR2 claiming they cut production which was also a lie he fabricated by first claiming they were planning 2 million PSVR2 for the "launch window" and then later claiming they cut production

Not disagreeing but Sony absolutely did halt PS4 production in 2020 and only produced an extra million in 2021 when they realized PS5 shortage was officially out of their hands.

Everything Takashi says is a lie, he's been exposed countless times. This is nothing but FUD to counteract the PS5 Pro news. But it's no surprise the goofy salty Xbox fanboy @rinzler rushed to make this thread.

Would you just stop dude? Your personal attacks on me are wearing incredibly thin.

It's reported news, get out of this fanboy bubble.

Stop what? Stating facts? what personal attacks have I made against you? None!

You've already been warned twice by the staff here. Back off. If you can't properly handle a discussion don't engage in it.

They never halted PS4 production... You realize the source for all of what you said was Takashi that Sony denied right?

You made me check and yeah all this guy does is doom post about PlayStation on here. Definitely a shill

VR being main stream is still decades away. PSVR isnt in demand. Makes perfect sense to stop production until the old units sale.

Outright lie, I largely discuss the PC side of things including Sony in that ecosystem. This is such childish behavior.

You doom post Playstation to promote PC, literally anyone can realize this with two seconds of looking at your comments. PC master race garbage most of it

I don't doom post anything, your alternate reality in which you can't securely handle people engaged and supporting Sony's products on an alternate platform is the problem.

The fact that this has become about me because of nonsensical ad hominem by Jah is what you should be worried about. Gate keeping conversation on an internet forum with unfounded personal insults is ridiculous.

PS4 production was basically killed after April 2020 it's not even a secret lol. Why do you think they also had to eventually send out PR they are gonna produce an extra million units.

The plan was to kill PS4 in the lead up to PS5. Jim outlined their plan to mass migrate users in numbers never seen before he of course never saw lockdowns and chip shortage coming.

It's a hilarious coincidence that flaccidsnake got banned and then 2 super pro PC/Xbox fanboys (@rinzler and @klomzi) join at the exact same time and immediately start posting BS Not saying these are his alt accounts, but the timing is too funny.
