REUTERS\/Issei Kato<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Paris: Consumer tech giant Sony<\/a> is launching a virtual reality<\/a> (VR) headset for its PlayStation<\/a> on Wednesday, six and a half years after its last attempt to crack a market that is still struggling to gain a widespread public following.

The
devices<\/a> have periodically generated huge excitement in the geekier fringes of the tech and business spheres, with Facebook's $2 billion takeover of the start-up Oculus in 2014 sparking a mini-boom.

And media reports have swirled that Apple is about to unveil its own version, a move feverishly anticipated by fans of the brand.

But
VR headset<\/a> makers do not yet shift enough units to sustain the hype.

Fewer than 10 million shipped worldwide in 2022, all brands combined, according to CSC Insights. By comparison, Sony claims to have sold 30 million PlayStation 5 consoles last year.

And for now, VR headsets are expensive and the fast-developing technology gets dated quickly.

But that has not put Sony off.

\"We think it's the right time to offer a new, more technologically advanced headset, based on feedback from our first model,\" said Nathalie Dacquin, marketing director for PlayStation in France.

So can one of the big beasts of tech drag a stubbornly niche product into the mainstream?

Games will be key<\/strong>

The PS VR2 certainly improves on its predecessor -- it is lighter and displays finer and more fluid images.

But one aspect of the Sony gadget that will not revolutionise the market is the price -- weighing in at $550.

Two of the flagship models currently on the market, the Quest 2 by
Meta<\/a> and the PICO 4, are priced at around $400.

And the PICO 4, developed by ByteDance, the Chinese owner of
TikTok<\/a>, is unavailable in the United States.

But what Sony has over the competition is the PlayStation, and roughly 30 games will be compatible with the new headset, including the racing simulator \"Gran Turismo 7\".

\"These are obviously the games that will make the headset a success,\" Dacquin said.

Prices will fall
<\/strong>
But experts are not seeing a revolution quite yet.

More companies with products in different price brackets could help to shake up the market in the longer term, said Rick Kowalski of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organises the CES tech show in Las Vegas.

\"Competition and economies of scale tend to bring prices down over time,\" he said.

But there are still plenty of barriers to a wider uptake.

Rolf Illenberger of
VRDirect<\/a>, a consulting firm, said technology advances make the devices outdated at a rapid pace.

Customers who buy flashy headsets \"tend to be quite disappointed\" when they find out a few months later that a new generation is already out and their version is no longer properly supported, he said.

He reckons the headsets are still best deployed in technical and corporate settings.

\"Aside from gaming, it does not yet offer a sufficient content lineup for people to be attracted to this technology on a regular basis,\" he said.

巴黎:消费者的科技巨头索尼将推出一款虚拟现实(VR)耳机的游戏机周三,六年半后最后一次尝试破解市场仍难以获得公众的普遍遵循。

设备定期生成的巨大兴奋对头边缘的技术和商业领域,与Facebook的20亿美元收购初创眼睛在2014年引发了一定程度的扩充。

和媒体报道,苹果即将推出自己的版本,这一举动狂热球迷预期的品牌。

VR耳机制造商还没有足够的单位转移到维持炒作。

2022年全世界少于1000万出货,所有品牌相结合,根据CSC的见解。相比之下,索尼声称去年售出了3000万PlayStation游戏机。

现在,虚拟现实耳机是昂贵的和快速发展的技术会很快过时。

但这并没有让索尼下车了。

“我们认为这是正确的时间提供一个新的、更先进的耳机,从我们的第一个模型,基于反馈”说娜塔莉Dacquin,营销总监PlayStation在法国。

所以可以的一大科技兽拖一个顽固的利基产品成为主流?

游戏将是关键

PS VR2无疑提高了其前任——它更轻并显示更好的和更多的液体图像。

但索尼产品的一个方面,并不会彻底改变市场价格——重达550美元。

目前市场上的两个旗舰模型,任务2皮科4,定价在400美元左右。

由ByteDance和皮科4日,中国的老板TikTok,不可用在美国。

但索尼公司竞争PlayStation,和大约30场比赛将兼容新的耳机,包括赛车模拟器“Gran Turismo 7”。

“这些显然是将耳机一个成功的游戏,“Dacquin说。

价格将会下降

但是专家们没有看到一场革命。

更多公司产品在不同价格括号可以帮助动摇市场从长期来看,说消费科技协会的里克·科瓦尔斯基(CTA),该组织在拉斯维加斯CES科技展示。

“竞争和规模经济倾向于降低价格随着时间的推移,”他说。

但是仍有很多障碍更广泛的吸收。

罗尔夫Illenberger的VRDirect咨询公司说,技术的进步使设备过时的快速。

顾客购买的耳机”往往非常失望”时发现几个月之后,新一代已经和他们的版本不再是获得适当支持,他说。

他认为最好的耳机仍部署在技术和企业设置。

“除了游戏之外,它还没有提供足够的内容阵容为人们定期被吸引到这一技术,”他说。
