Sony said: No one knows which kind of VR game will be a big hit

Tencent Digital (Compile: Hamish) The competition in the virtual reality game field is becoming increasingly fierce. Sony executives acknowledged that the company is not yet clear what type of virtual reality games will become mainstream, but it will create a whole new experience for PlayStation VR in the next two years.

Sony released PS VR last month, which is priced at 399 US dollars (about 2714 yuan). This is a virtual reality device connected to the PS4. It also supports Sony's newly released PS4 Pro host.

This year is the "first year of virtual reality technology," but the products released by various companies are in the early stages, including Facebook's Oculus and HTC Vive.

On Wednesday, Shawn Layden, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment in the United States, said that the virtual reality field is showing "new opportunities."

"We don't know what the explosion of virtual reality is," Layden said at the Lisbon Technology Summit. "We will spend 12 to 18 months looking for a virtual reality experience."

At present, PS VR supports 50 games, but most of the games are very short and the game takes only about 20 minutes. Layden said that soon the game's virtual reality platform will intensify.

"I think the reasonable time for the virtual reality gaming experience is 15, 20, and 30 minutes. This is similar to the arcade game. After casting a coin, you can experience 6, 8, 9, and 10 minutes of game time. Now distance from the virtual reality platform. There is still a long period of time for games like Final Fantasy 7, and you can experience up to 75 hours of game content. From the current point of view, the virtual reality platform is a platform suitable for short and intense games." Layden said.

The virtual reality hardware market will reach 50 billion U.S. dollars by 2021. For Sony, which already has 50 million PS4 sales, this is a potentially big business. At the same time, Sony also hopes that virtual reality technology will boost sales of the PS4 Pro. PS4 Pro is an upgraded version of the game console. It has a faster processor and supports special rendering of the game in 4K quality.

Although it is not necessary to purchase the PS4 Pro to play virtual reality games, the high image quality of this device can still attract many users. In contrast, Microsoft also expects to launch an upgraded version of the Xbox next year. The company will call this project "Project Scorpio."
