Bloomberg reports that Apple is working with Sony to make Vision Pro work with PS VR2 controllers

Bloomberg reports that Apple is working with Sony to allow its VR device “Apple Vision Pro” to use the PS VR2 handheld controller.

The collaboration began earlier this year, and Sony has been working on it for several months, while Apple has been contacting developers to see if they would like to add controller support to their games.

However, Apple Vision Pro, which was first launched in the United States at the beginning of this year, did not achieve satisfactory commercial results. According to a report by the Financial Times last year, Apple’s expectation for Vision Pro was to sell 1 million units in the first year. However, due to Its product design is complex and difficult to manufacture, so production alone cannot reach this number.

In addition, the price starting from nearly NT$120,000 is quite astonishing. In July this year, market research company IDC predicted that Vision Pro sales this year would not exceed 500,000 units.

However, the situation of PS VR2 on the other side is not good. In March this year, Bloomberg also revealed that PS VR2 had suspended production due to too much inventory. In overseas markets this year, PS VR2 can also be seen repeatedly discounted, which is similar to “Call of the Horizon Mountain”. 》The bundled set has been discounted from the original price of 599.99 US dollars to the current US$349.99. This discount will last until January next year.
