Three Reasons PSVR2 Is Better Than Meta Quest 2

IGN: "Akeem has had tons of time with the PSVR 2, and as one of the biggest VR enthusiasts at IGN, he's got words on why he thinks PSVR 2 is actually better than the Meta Quest 2! From Horizon: Call of the Mountain to Resident Evil Village VR, to hardware specific features, he's found tons to love about the PSVR 2 and we're here for it! Are you still on the fence?"

Only three?! There are loads! There are also counter arguments, of course, but when taken as a whole, PSVR2 blows quest 2 out of the water, as it should do.

that's some high praise for the PSVR2, and yes it literally blows away the quest 2, according to digital foundry the quest 2 suffers from washed out black levels and fogging issues, and according to this post it cant be worn with glasses and doesn't block out light adequately, has a crappy screen and graphics and is also heavy and awkward on the head, and of course no eye tracking / haptics / adaptive triggers

I mean it's years after, obviously it's gonna be better in some ways otherwise something is wrong lmao. Heard lots of complaints about visual issues on PSVR2 tho, it's kinda like Valve's Index which suffers from some glare, which is barely to be seen on Quest 2. Higher price does not always = better.

Quest 2 is at the level where it's decent enough in clarity, can pair with your PC wirelessly or wired for unlimited power, unlike PSVR2. So yea, it depends on your requirements and if you intend to stick to walled gardens of a console.

Only 10% of Q2 owners pair it with a PC. For the vast majority, it suffers all the limitations of standalone.

I guess Sony is not pleased with the initial PS VR2 sales if all media outlets need to create a "why the PS VR2 is better to QUest2 type of article (with various degrees of truth).

Meta dominates over 75% of the current VR space and I have barely seen a review of a game outside of resident evil4.
but suddenly we have all current PS VR2 getting reviews (and most of them are on the Quest2) all over the board like it's the most established Headset.
Heck, I would not be surprised if the 2023 GOTY is suddenly a PS VR2 game (because VR will suddenly matter)

In other news one of the most popular VR game Echo VR (made by Ready at Dawn) will have its server shutdown on August 1 (because Meta is a A-hole).
Have we heard of this news on a popular website? of course not.

Also, I just find funny a bit that all media that got a free PS vr2 are all it's the best thing ever versus a lot of YouTubers that bought the Ps Vr2 and are more like it's a nice upgrade that will please the hardcore crowd.

PlayStation is more popular than Facebook, especially when it comes to the console space.

"I guess Sony is not pleased with the initial PS VR2 sales if all media outlets need to create a "why the PS VR2 is better to QUest2 type of article (with various degrees of truth)."

So Sony have the media in their pocket then? Any particular explanation for why Horizon COTM isn't a 99 meta game then? While your tinfoil hat is still on.

"Meta dominates over 75% of the current VR space and I have barely seen a review of a game outside of resident evil4."

That's the last big game they put out.

"but suddenly we have all current PS VR2 getting reviews (and most of them are on the Quest2) all over the board like it's the most established Headset."

Have we? Kayak has 6 reviews on meta. Pavlov has 1. Tentacular has 6. Horizon COTM has 6 less reviews than Alyx. What the Bat has 6 reviews. RE8 VR has 6. GT7 VR has no category on metacritic. You're seeing more of these games because PSVR2 is trending so obviously the launch lineup, which is far superior a launch lineup for any other headset and most consoles, is getting 'some' attention.

"Heck, I would not be surprised if the 2023 GOTY is suddenly a PS VR2 game (because VR will suddenly matter"

It seemed to suddenly matter in 2020 when Alyx was a nominee, was that ok with you because it wasn't Sony?

"Have we heard of this news on a popular website? of course not."

As if those same media didn't get free Quests and a good few known VR YouTubers that are playing down PSVR2 are Meta Ambassadors.
