Sony PSVR 2 : le casque ne dépassera probablement pas les ventes de son prédécesseur
Selon un analyste VR réputé, le PSVR 2 n'atteindra probablement pas ses objectifs de vente. Pour Francisco Jeronimo, analyste VR chez IDC, le PSVR 2 devrait se vendre à un peu moins de 300 000 unités d'ici à la fin mars 2023. Dans une déclaration (s'ouvre dans un nouvel onglet) à Takashi Mochizuki de Bloomberg, Jeronimo a expliqué pourquoi ce casque PS5 pourrait être moins performant en termes de ventes. "Les consommateurs du monde entier sont confrontés à l'augmentation du coût de la vie, des taux d'intérêt et des licenciements", explique Jeronimo, "les casques VR ne sont pas une priorité pour la plupart des consommateurs dans le climat économique actuel". Jeronimo déclare également qu'une réduction du prix du PSVR 2 pourrait être nécessaire si Sony veut "éviter un désastre complet". Exclusive: Sony's PSVR2 is not doing well. IDC's @fjeronimo expects sales of just 270,000 units by the end of March.

Gaetz: Biden ‘Functionally Gaslit This Indictment by Saying that Extreme MAGA Republicans Were Dangerous’
Thursday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) accused President Joe Biden of gaslighting the Trump indictment by saying “MAGA Republicans” were “dangerous. According to the Florida congressman, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran on continuing what Gaetz deemed to be a “terrible witch hunt.” “Not only did Joe Biden not put out a message to bring the temperature down, he functionally gaslit this indictment by saying that extreme MAGA Republicans were dangerous,” he said. “Remember, it’s Biden’s government that we are currently investigating for supercharging the notion of domestic violent extremism. We found cases of the FBI cooking the books to try to get every American to think that the person next to them with a pro-Trump bumper sticker is somehow dangerous or evil. And when Biden did that, it created a permission structure not only for Alvin Bragg but for the corrupt left-leaning prosecutors in Fulton County and even for the special counsel to try to … [Read more...] about Gaetz: Biden ‘Functionally Gaslit This Indictment by Saying that Extreme MAGA Republicans Were Dangerous’
