Any bets if Shu is a coffee or tea\u00a0guy?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because Sony\u2019s not ready to talk about it\u00a0yet<\/h4>\n

If you were hoping for a successor to PlayStation VR, it looks like you\u2019ll have to wait a bit longer. When speaking to JagatPlay<\/a>, the always pleasant Shu had this to\u00a0say:<\/p>\n

We are not planning to make any\u00a0changes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The platform that we have?\u2014?PlayStation game console?\u2014?what we support is to provide the same technology to as many people as possible so that we can provide the really high-tech system at the very affordable price, because we make lots of them. And also at the same time create a large enough install base of the same system for the developers to aim their game development.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it\u2019s very important for us to make sure that once we introduce a system, it\u2019s a really high quality system and we can make sure that the people, when they purchase, can count on using it for many years to come. And for people to know that the games will be released for many years to\u00a0come.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PlayStation VR has been on sale for less than a year and most recently crossed the 1 million marker<\/a>. Clearly Sony has been able to capture consumer attention and that was obvious during the PlayStation E3 2017 press conference when the middle chunk of the keynote was dedicated to tons of new PSVR titles. This undoubtedly means that unless something dramatic takes place, we\u2019ll see a successor to PSVR, making it a matter of when and not\u00a0if.<\/p>\n

As Shu clearly points out, they have no plans to \u2018talk about a PSVR successor\u2019 and not there isn\u2019t a successor. Could those plans be to talk about it at TGS or PlayStation Experience? Perhaps, though with PS4 Pro still a relatively new product for them, I\u2019d wager that we see a PSVR 2 or whatever it will be called in mid to late 2018, at the earliest. I just hope it doesn\u2019t slip until 2019 because there are some minor, but key features PSVR could use that could be achieved even with a mid-cycle and fairly silent upgrade, but I\u2019ll leave that for another\u00a0piece.<\/p>\n

Any new PSVR games announced at E3 catch your attention?<\/p>\n
