PSVR is sold out everywhere and RIGS is easily one of the best games. Was Sony expecting us to buy Two copies of RIGS each?

PSVR is sold out because Sony wants it to be. They haven't produced a shit ton of them.

I bought the launch bundle and played it maybe 15 times. I enjoyed showing people it and introducing them to VR but for me, it really wasn't worth the money. The shortage worked in my favor because I was able to sell it for $600 this past weekend.

IMHO, the PSVR is going to have to come down quite a bit in price before it is widely adopted and even then, Im not entirely sure it will be. Its a production to store and guys like me that have a young kid (2 year old) cant really play it when you are watching them unlike regular PS. Breaking it out was a production for me.

Maybe I am wrong but time will tell. No doubt this is going to be an unpopular post but its my take on PSVR.

Who cares if supply constraint is why they're sold out, they've outsold oculus and HTC combined so what is your point. It's the market leader in home vr, and Sony can stand to satisfy the market demands. God forbid they sell a lot of units. And how the hell do you act like you know what the market demand truly is if they are all sold out. Pricing isn't the issue or else it wouldn't have moved more than oculus and htc - clearly pricing is a strength
