PlayStation is highly popular for its exclusive titles likeTheLast of Us,Uncharted,Marvel’s Spider-Man, and many more. But one thing that has made this console company a world-beater is its strong hardware configuration.
Be it the PS2 or the PS5, whenever a console of this company launches, Sony makes sure that it comes as the most powerful machine in the market. However, PSVR 2 was on its way to maintaining this legacy but failed miserably. But after the deep price cut, the sale of this console has skyrocketed.

Recently, Sony went for huge discounts on PlayStation 5 andPSVR 2in the United States as it looked to build on the brand’s momentum moving into the holidays. As of now, the PS5 is available at a discounted price of $449.99.

After this discount, the sales of the PSVR 2 broke the ceiling. According toThe Shortcut, the sales of these headsets have seen a rise of a staggering 2,350% over a 24-hour period.

The sale has erupted so much that this VR console is now sold out at Amazon. However, there are still stocks left at Walmart. But you have to hurry to secure one, as they will be following the path of Amazon soon.
Despite the company’s valiant efforts to bring virtual reality into the world of gaming, PlayStation VR2 failed miserably as people refused to spend $550 for a VR headset.

In ablog post, the company has explained the differences between playing the games on PS5 or PC via your VR headset:
PSVR 2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5—so you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC. However, other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PSVR 2 are supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D audio in supported games.
