Sony Group Corp. has temporarily halted the production of its PlayStation VR2 (PSVR2) headset due to a significant accumulation of unsold units, sparking concerns about the market's interest in virtual reality gadgets. Since its launch in February 2023, over 2M+ PSVR2 units have been manufactured. However, sales have begun to decline, leading to the current pause in production. This decision aims to address the surplus throughout the supply chain. Sony is also exploring PSVR2 PC game support as a strategy to enhance the device's appeal amidst reports of slowing sales attributed to a lack of compelling content for the $550 headset.
