I've seen a lot of discussion about PSVR2, especially around the price being too high and I can't help but wonder if people honestly think it'll stay at this price and configuration for the rest of the generation.
PSVR launched in October of 2016 for $399 but with a launch bundle available for $500 dollars with a camera and two move controllers. A year later they launched PSVR Bundle with PSVR and GT Sport and a Camera for $399 (no move controllers).
Shortly after the launch of this bundle, they promoted a Black Friday sale dropping the bundle to $299. There was also a Skyrim bundle for $349 that included the move controllers.
By the end of the year, Sony priced the GT Sport bundle as low as $200 dollars.
I assume they'll do a similar bundle here with GT7 and in place of Skyrim, they'll probably continue to push the Call of Mountain bundle and perhaps a Resident Evil Village Bundle.
I think it is fairly clear to assume that based on history, they're looking to get early adopter rates but that the price likely will drop significantly by the end of the year.
I'd expect a PSVR2 bundle with GT7 without sense controllers to run around 350, a PSVR2 with no sense controller or games to run about 300, and PSVR2 with sense controllers and Village or Horizon to run 400.
I think a PSVR2 for 300 dollars for players who already have GT7 is going to be fairly enticing, but if they did a similarly priced GT7 PSVR2 bundle at 250, I think that would reinvigorate Gran Turismo sales as well.
