SuperData reports PlayStation VR having shipped a whopping 745,000 units, much more than the HTC Vive with 420,000 and the Oculus Rift with 355,000. What's even more mind-blowing is the fact that it managed to reach such a huge shipping volume only a few months after being released.
If you're one of the many who plans to purchase the PlayStation VR 5, then here are some things you need to know, according to alphr.com:
Game Availability would not be a problem for PlayStation VR
Sony has a massive 50 games that are compatible with the device, just in time for the launch window of the PlayStation VR. As a matter of fact, 40 of these games are already listed up for grabs at the PlayStation Store.
These games include arcade-type, single and multiplayer ones, which simply means that there is a game to suit people's preferences. Moreover, PlayStation VR support already has gone full-blast with the indie games community.
Cables and Connections MIGHT be a problem for PlayStation VR
Sony is undoubtedly pulling out all the stops in order for them to carry over the great features of the PS4 straight to PlayStation VR, including a headset and a breakout box. The only downside to this one though is the relative abundance of the cables that you have to deal with when setting it up.
Setting Up is Easy as Easy Can Be
According to technobuffalo.com, to make up for the sheer abundance of cables, Sony has done their part by clearly numbering and labeling them to prevent the hassle of mixing things up, apart from coming up with a clear and succinct manual for setting up to guide you throughout the process. This is a clear testament indeed, to how they prioritize the convenience of their consumers.
The Playstation VS is Comfy
While the headset that comes with the PlayStation VR looks like it's such a hassle to put on, don't let its looks deceive you, as it actually is the most ear and head-friendly headset that could ever rest on your ears. The VR display "floats" right before your face once you hit the front-loaded weight of the device to your forehead, which enables comfort for long hours of playing.
Apart from comfort, you can be assured that it does not fall off easily, thanks to its head strap and the padding that protects the parts that get in contact with it while in use. Given all these added features, it definitely does not feel like it's the heaviest one around, even if it actually is.
PlayStation VR inclusive of Demo Disc
Not sure if you can afford a PlayStation VR and a set of games right away, worry not, Sony has included a rather generous selection of PlayStation VR games for free as part of a demo disc packaged in the box.Should the disc not be found anywhere, or if you find it cumbersome to install using the CD, it can be downloaded on the PlayStation Store free of charge.
