How well Sony’s PlayStation VR2 sells is a bit of a hot topic. For some people it seems to be absolutely essential that this new headset and controller package sells to a large percentage of the PS5 userbase, as if failure to become mainstream signifies that the whole thing is a failure. I don’t think that’s true at all.
If you are a person that makes buying choices based on careful consideration of all options, and not someone who buys on a whim or some kind of bizarre brand loyalty based on zero actual sense (we’ve all done it, to be fair), you’d probably look at a new console purchase similarly. What are the pros and cons of each? What, in the end, is the best option for you, long term?
You might well decide that the Switch, despite being less powerful (by a considerable amount), is fully portable, has arguably the best exclusive games, and offers a fairly reasonable subscription service that provides access to loads of classic games. That’s a decent sell.
