Sony’s much-anticipated PlayStation VR headset is out, and it will introduce many console gamers into the brave new world of virtual reality.
However, there is no one standout title that makes the headset a must-buy. For years, conventional wisdom stated that new game consoles needed a “system seller” or “killer app” to gain traction. That era is over. PSVR can and likely will succeed without a flagship game.
Gaming systems used to need big flagship games to give gamers a reason to purchase that system, but times have changed. These days, players look for an overall roster of available titles strong enough to tip the scales and compel their loyalty, and a compelling experience.
