Missing the holiday season. I'd just wait for more of an install base before pushing it.

People are saying "holiday 2022" as if it will be some huge Christmas hit.
People are still trying to get their hands on PS5s and struggling. I will be stunned if PSVR2 is hard to find, as much as I loved mine it's still a niche in the broad context of gaming.

Good. Gives me more time to get my finances in order and finish all these 2022 games. This year is too packed for me as it is.

Hopefully it is a wrong rumor, would love to buy one asap!

Oh come the f*** on. Christmas Sony. CHRISTMAS. GET IT TOGETHER.
If it's not Christmas... fine... but stop showing the damn thing more than a year before release. It's embarrassing. They generate new iPhone "hype" in less than a month... you don't need more than a damn year to accomplish that.
But let's get this thing under some Christmas trees! Sony hasn't been able to hit a holiday date in what feels like a bloody decade...

Would be my guess as well.
I know people are struggling to find a PS5 but who knows when that will ease so no sense in artificially holding the PSRV2 back

Q1 doesn’t make much sense unless it’s pretty cheap.

2023 that's very disappointing if true.

How about more PS5 only games that aren’t cross gen. I’d personally like that first and foremost.

Horizon FW not good enough for you for a month at least?

I want to play VR games and the PSVR 1 is too outdated and annoying to use, with the moves and bad tracking.

Then why did you buy a PS5?

No. You get one or the other

It improves some VR games, like No Man's Sky, but it can't do anything about the decade old moves and tracking. I play some flat games here and there, but mostly VR.

Much later than I thought, but those looking at Holiday 2022 definitely have no grasp on supply and demand here.

If true, my Christmas will be worse off for it

Will the new PSVR2 run all the PS4 VR games? I'd like to think full backwards compatibility would be a must.

Christimas and charge 100$ extra. Include a game or two.
Then 2023 lower the price and remove the games.

Speaking of NMS, I really hope that they will make a PSVR2 version. I have had some of the best VR experiences with that game, and having it in full graphical glory with high resolution, HDR, higher frame rate, haptics, reduced motion sickness and good controls, would make it like a new experience altogether.

Tough I'm not very interested on playng older titles (aside some special ones), I hope so. But I doubt it, every psvr game would require to be patched for the new device.
EverydayBeast
thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Psvr is incredible Sony did a good job with it 2023 is fair, I think they’ll look customers in the eye and PSVR2 comes out 2022 holiday season basically overpriced.

backwards compatibility helps tremendously, but there is a simple way to have lots of VR games for a 2022 release: get all the possible ports of PCVR that missed PSVR. They would be new to those that stayed in the Playstation ecosystem.

Agreed. Lots of games never made it to PSVR

That should be relatively simply to do if you ask me. And I think Sony should help devs with those patches, if one is needed.

Ps5 small install base and chip shortage is a stupid reason, they must be trying to sort some problems out or they are not confident launching 3rd quarter.

They better have a Full Version of GT7 in the works.

Oh it absolutely SHOULD release on Holiday 2022... but since when has that stopped these idiots from releasing anything the following March?

Quest 2's sales success would play a larger part in VR display investment/production than Apple's perpetually delayed and forthcoming "AR headset". Oculus is going to beat them to the AR market with Cambria, which uses traditional displays coupled with high quality camera passthrough. Still unknown whether Apple will go with that route or the Magic Leap/Hololens projection route.
Was watching sadlyitsbradley stream where he was clearing up his meta device speculations and he seemed to think Apple has locked down oled micro display supply for their device and it will ship next year. Meta apparently using them for their high end Quest line aswell (that's post cambria next year).

Or launch games might need more dev time, which in turn would get Sony extra time to have much more stock on day 1 + a bigger PS5 install base by Q1 2023. Win-Win scenario, even if the entire PS5 generation is running a year late at this point because of this stupid pandemic, chip shortage situation and other issues.

Hopefully they can get a couple of million units produced in time for launch. I wonder how well this one will perform.
I don't think there will be a stock problem. How many PSVR1 were sold? ~5M in 6 years for 120M PS4 owners. I think if they got a couple of 100k this will be more than enough for like 30M PS5 owners.

Yeah, I think the crazy covid boom seems to be slowing on all tech looking at the figures I see. We have definitely moved on from where everything including ocolus quest were selling out instantly. If they can get a million built for launch I think they will be in a good place.

They need at the VERY least 1 million on launch day. Not one unit less.
