I was very impressed by PSVR2 but I'd be hesitant to "invest" in a PS accessory that costs more [0] than the console and not knowing[1] that it will be compatible with future consoles.
[0] Canada, $699 console, $749 PSVR2

- evanmoran 4y agoConsole makers usually make peripherals only work for that single console. The reasoning is that the games are only tested with those specific devices so it's hard for them to know if new games will run on old hardware or not. This totally sucks and they know it, so they generally don't come out and say it. But I believe this is why the PS4 controllers don't work on PS5, but do work on PS4 games being run on PS5 hardware (a kind of made up restriction if ever I heard one!) Sadly, not the most fun info to share, but there is little chance the PS2VR will ever target anything other than PS5.
- rm445 4y agoIt's notable that PSVR1 worked on the PS5 as well as the PS4 though. Sony would even post you a free camera cable adapter. And it was using Move controllers from the PS3.
- karmakaze 4y agoEven harder is to justify the console + PSVR2 (in Canada for me) to only play Gran Turismo 7. It is the killer app for PSVR2 and I've bought previous PSes just to play updated versions but this latest is a bigger jump in cost. So because of that, I've been waiting to see if there's something that will skip a tech generation and not make me want the current. The Bigscreen Beyond is close, though roomscale.
