PSVR 2 was widely rumored and hotly anticipated in the latter stages of 2022, and despite complaints about pricing, the lack of backwards compatibility with Sony’s first visor, and arguably misleading reports of poor sales, PSVR 2 has taken home the gold for so many reasons
Best hardware sure.
Best software support? Nope
Quest 3 wasn’t even nominated? Did it come out too late to enter?
For the price point and features, I’d totally pick it over PSVR2. PSVR2 would be more tempting if it was wireless, but you still need a $600 console to power a $600 headset, and there’s a very limited selection of games. It’s been good for the few games I played with it, but I’ve used the Q3 a lot more and had it a lot less time.
That’s not a surprise, though, since I was using the Q2 right up until I got the Q3.
That’s not what the award was for, and even if it was, what more would you expect from a first party piece of hardware?
