PlayStation VR: Sony CEO Admits Possible Room for 'Improvement;' Denies Costly Changes in the Future
Dannel Picaccio Camille Perez LozanoThe PlayStation VR apparently made an impact in the digital world as the trend turns global. But while this piece of hardware makes a nifty addition to the gaming experience, even the team behind it claims that there is still a lot to develop.
Sony's PlayStation VR is considered as the company's edge over competitors, particularly Microsoft's Xbox One series. As for the capabilities of the Virtual Reality hardware, it is no secret that there may still be room for improvement along the way. The company has yet to reveal what these improvements will be, specifcally.
According to Daily Star, Sony's CEO Kaz Hirai disclosed during the CES 2017 event that the PlayStation VR began the year rather properly. The CEO said that the platform could still don improvements in the future -- all of which is expected to "make sense." More than that, Hirai emphasized on the hardware being the first version of the platform, defending how Sony is recognized as one to utilize the evolution of hardware products along the way.
Contrary to prevailing speculations, however, Hirai said that the improvements might be drastic, but this will not affect affordability. "[Improvements] have to be balanced with cost considerations as well, because it is a consumer product for gamers so we don't want to say it's lighter, whiter or whatever, but it's going to cost triple. That's not going to happen," Hirai explained.
The PlayStation VR headset was launched in October 2016. The device is meant to amplify the viewing pleasure of gamers everywhere, especially those inclined towards the first-person perspective. For now, fans are assured that the hardware will deliver as expected, with the future changes not to be too costly.
