"Sony could run into hate speech"
Lol really?
Firstly the term in the title of this article needs to die, already much data, including one that has a thread here, showing most customers only like or care to be interested in VR when it's just called VR, not whatever-verse which not only can cause confusion, but it's dumb and turns people off, and because it's vague no one can really explain what it is, not even Zucker.
While I do think it's a bit odd social is lacking at launch for PSVR2 in even lesser form, I do think some will be added overtime.
Also Quest 2 while partially popular due to SOCIAL VR (notice no verse something here, keeping it simple) for sure, it was also ironically popular (especially earlier) because of its games. It had games along with a novel cheap wireless and well-featured for the time headset that general audiences wanted to play, even if many of them ended up being temporary fads. But some like Beat Saber with it's 5+ million sold is the best selling game in VR ever. So games was also part of the reason, and was the original launch pad for success as the social stuff took awhile to be ready, or launched broken to rush out the "verse" Zucker envisioned.
I take it Sony wants to try and outdo the games Quest 2 had at launch with bigger more fleshed out experienced, along with a whole pile of Quest/MobileVR ports that will be enhanced with the headsets newer technology, hoping to get those same audiences and hold them longer. Will it work? We will have to see. But it'll be better than rushing out half-finished social software that the Quest 2 launched with which had to be quickly fixed over time wasting a lot of money.
But the articles argument is partially reasonable imo, compared to others recently.
