PSVR is still selling? I'm amazed. I didn't hear Sony talk about the PSVR for a while and figured it went the way of the Kinect.

Nah, I think it has been a modest success. It has definitely been pretty quiet, though.

I only know one person that ones the PSVR. I know a lot of people that use PS4. I think they are still too expensive . Get the price to $199 (or less - if they were $99, they'd probably sell like crazy) and get some better games. It will probably sell.

Why not just make it free? They should make it free. Why not?

Why stop there? They should pay you to take their devices. Absolutely.

You might be on to something there. Give us free consoles & gear and I will slap so many logo stickers on my car people will think I'm in Nascar

Hell I own a PS4 pro an PSVR and apparently you all live in PC only world. PSVR is doing quite well and just started selling version 2 of the headset. Has the Vive or Rift even got to the million mark? I made a gamble buying the PSVR and don't regret it for a minute. Bought a rift and did not think it was a whole lot better so it was returned.

I get your argument. I just think the price point is still too high for a lot of people. I know if my kids ask for something over a certain price (maybe it's $100?), no way they are getting it for Christmas.
My one daughter asked for an iPhone X. I flat out told her no way in hell. If Apple dropped the price down the $99, maybe I'd get it for her. (Yes, I know they will never get anywhere near that price - lucky a lighting cable only costs $25 from them).

Sony talks about PSVR at every single Playstation event. In the span of a few months there was E3, Paris Games Week, and Playstation Experience. PSVR was talked about at all of them.
