    Another reason to hate Sony.

    I knew this thing was going to flop. It was the same thing with PSVR1, they marketed the shit out of it, released it and then one year later it was basically already forgotten about.

    I remember commenting on Reddit at PSVR2 release that I wasn’t falling for it again, and got called a fucking idiot and told I didn’t know what I was talking about blah blah blah. Then they just literally did the same thing again. Like PSVR1. Like Vita. Like their proprietary headphones. Like PS Move. Like PSP (which was a banger). Like PS5 arguably.

      The walkman never left the minds of their electronics and computing division. Build it and others support the ecosystem that makes it worth buying, rack in on peripherals.

    Sony wants to fail on all fronts at this point. It’s wild for a company with such a history.

    Sony used to make all kinds of electronics, and the quality was usually pretty good. What is their core business these days?

      They’re an insurance company in Japan, which i think it’s where most of their money comes from.

      If you look at what AI has done to hardware prices then it’s smart to get out now.

    Did Concord really fuck them up that badly? I’m confused as to what’s going on internally with them.
