Last year was the one that many companies chose to bet on Virtual Reality, in fact, here we have taken the opportunity on some occasion to talk about quite interesting and low-cost alternatives such as Wolder's VR Glasses. However, in the first division of this genre, companies such as Sony, which has turned its Virtual Reality glasses for the PlayStation 4 into the main asset of this new video game format. In fact, the sales statistics are surprising even the Japanese company, which scores an important score about companies that promised to dominate this subject such as Facebook and HTC.
The first important data should be highlighted, and it is that around 915.000 units of the PlayStation VR have been sold. It is true that this represents less than 5% of the total PlayStation 4 units sold, no less than 53,4 million in total, but they are not far from bad figures when compared to its direct competition, the Oculus Rift, which they fell short of 250.000 units, or the HTC Vive, which has barely reached half a million devices sold. It is undoubtedly the clear statement that Sony has been dominating the world of entertainment made video games for several years.
Perhaps the first determining aspect is the price, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift cost on average twice as much as PlayStation glasses, and if we add to this the support of developers thanks to their more than 100 compatible titles and those that remain to come. , make the Sony alternative the preferred choice for users. The reality is that it is difficult to compete even with less than 5% of PlayStation 4 users, the best-selling next-generation platform that continues to reap records today. In short, the Oscar for Virtual Reality has been taken by Sony.
