PSVR2 is taking off strong. I think it might very well be on it's way to being the number one VR setup as Meta Quest seems to be entering a state of decline.
The quality of the games is on par with, and even sometimes exceeding PCVR, because the VR market is small enough that game devs have to pander to outdated systems to broaden their sales, while PS5 is a streamlined setup and the PSVR2 games can be optimized for PS5 performance.
As someone who has had PSVR, Rift S, Quest 2 and now PSVR2, I think PSVR2 has had the strongest launch I have seen. While Quest 2 sold more units at start, the actual software wasn't new. PSVR2 has launched a solid library of games that weren't available on any other system, so PSVR2 owners are being adequately entertained and the system is being used more as a result. Horizon COTM, RE8 Village, GT7, The Last Worker, Switchback are all NEW games that have come out in the first 2 months of launch.
RE4 remake, Sierra Squad, Firewall Ultra are all coming out this year, as well as many others that are less exclusive.
Furthermore the PSVR2 versions of some vr games are pretty much the best. Pavlov, No Mans Sky, Walking Dead chapter 1 and 2 play smoother and feel better on PSVR2.
It costs more because it is a quality design. It isn't a crappy discount HMD with repurposed move controllers like the PSVR (1) was. You cannot get a HMD with head haptics, eye tracking, eye tracked foviated rendering, controller feedback, for anywhere near the price of a PSVR2. You can barely get that stuff for the price of a PSVR2 and PS5 combined, and even then you would still need a very capable PC to even use it which is going to cost you at least $1000 on top of the headset.
People complaining about the price of PSVR2, just don't understand what is and what it does.
@Futureshark I have VR Optician lenses and they are great. Just know that their process is slow and it took me a month to get them delivered in the States.
