Sony has found surprising success in VR the first time around; their headset has sold over 5 million units as of January 2020. A lot of that is due to PSVR\u2019s ease of use and relative affordability\/accessibility compared to competitors like Oculus and Vive. The PS4\u2019s PSVR continues to see support, most recently with Hitman 3 and titles like last year\u2019s Iron Man VR, as well as upcoming titles like Humanity, Sniper Elite VR, and After the Fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>What do you want from a new PlayStation VR headset?
