Dominic Mallinson, the Sony Global Head of R&D, has that there will not be a new PSVR headset to coincide with the launch of the next generation console, currently referred to as the PS5. While some were hoping for something new, this is actualꦑly fantast🌌ic news for players considering the purchase of the current hardware.
Sony has committed to making the current PSVR compatible with its next generation console, and while whatever version comes next is sure to be an improvement on what exists now, the announcement means that players probably have years before Sony releases any new hardware. If you were looking for a sign about getting into the world of Virtual Reality for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 4, this is about as clear as it gets.
The issue of creating hardware that is backwards compatible is one that, in many ways, Sony has failed to consider as important until only recently. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft meanwhile has invested heavily into making sure that consumers can play their old titles on hardware, which is evident in the upcoming Project xCloud, a streaming service in early alpha that currentlꩲy lets users stream 3,500 Xbox games across thre🌸e generations of consoles.
As consumers mak⛎e it clear that backwards compatibility is important in their buying decisions, the commitment to keep the current PSVR relevant for essentially the entire lifespan of the next generation PlayStation console is precisely what makes the hardware worth investing into now.
Speaking with CNET, Mallinson the reasoning to hold off on a new PSVR alongside the rel♐ease of the next console. He describes how the consumer is already going to be bombarded with a broad range of new items that need to be purchased. The inclu🅘sion of a new PSVR, although entirely optional, might drive some consumers away for a while to see what else is available at another price point.
On the other hand, players who have already invested into a PSVR for their PS4 ▨can feel that value has been added to their old purchas🌜e, as they can use it with their new console straight away. If Sony continues to work on the issue of backwards compatibility, and continues to focus on releasing exclusive titles onto its next console, they will remain a dominant force in the video game industry.
