PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has said he believes in the potential of virtual reality for video games – but also that the technology to really make it “meaningful” is still years away.
Speaking to the Washington Post [paywall], Ryan reflected on the current PlayStation VR headset as a way Sony had gained “experience” in developing VR games and hardware. But it also sounded like we shouldn’t expect a new PSVR model anytime very soon.
“I think we’re more than a few minutes from the future of VR,” Ryan said. “PlayStation believes in VR. Sony believes in VR, and we definitely believe at some point in the future, VR will represent a meaningful component of interactive entertainment. Will it be this year? No. Will it be next year? No. But will it come at some stage? We believe that.
