Re: PSVR2 Isn't Backwards Compatible with PSVR Games, Sony Confirms

@thefourfoldroot1 I agree that it isn't so simple and there are obvious cost implications, all of which are not the consumer's issue past a potential increase to the base cost of the unit.

I skipped PSVR 1, I've acquired a small library of titles (provided through PSN) assuming PSVR2 would be an absolute day one buy for me, and now with this, it isn't. This is going to cost Sony more in the long run as others have echoed similar disdain to the announcement.

I'm a consumer so I have the luxury of appearing pitiful, Sony do not.

@thefourfoldroot1 True, if you were to completely remove any responsibility from Sony's engineering team for PSVR2 to build backwards compatibility at a system level, and Sony directly to incentivise and influence any 3rd parties to offer patches/ports.

A blanket statement saying it's just not backwards compatible is pitiful and indefensible in my opinion.
