Sony PS VR Titles To Increase In 2018 To 280 After Selling 2 Million Units

Sony has quietly been selling one of the most successful virtual reality products in the world with its PS VR headset, announcing two million units sold last December. This has apparently allowed the company to place emphasis on increasing the number of available titles on the platform from 150 to 280 in 2018. This could allow Sony to sell even more PS VR headsets.

When Sony made the announcement that it had sold over two million PS VR headsets last month, a lot of people were surprised because the product wasn’t really making a huge splash throughout the year. The news did provide a window into the continuing potential for VR products, however, which the Japanese company just shot new life into with another announcement.

Speaking to the Japanese financial publication Nikkei, Sony said that it would nearly be doubling the number of PS VR titles on the platform. The jump was made possible due to the huge number of units that are now in the hands of consumers, which makes a lot of sense.

With more VR headsets sold, developers will have more reasons to actually make software for them, which would then lead to even more hardware units sold. The huge success of the Nintendo Switch is largely attributed to the excellent library of games on its library, for example, and that’s with only a limited number of them so far.

If Sony can replicate the level of excellence of the Switch titles or even that of its main PS4 platform, it could see a major jump in adoption rate for the PS VR. Naturally, the relatively new industry of VR makes way for a lot of growing pains, but if the massive number of PS VR headsets sold proves anything, it’s that there is at least huge interest among consumers.
