In the opinion of many, many, observers and even giving a slight look at the pre-event teasing of the recent CES 2016 , Sony should have announced the price and the official launch date for PlayStation VR at the latter’s event which took place a few days ago. does.

Yes, you read that right, it should have, but it did not happen. To tell the truth, the virtual reality headset had a rather poor space at the press conference of the Japanese company.

Sony CEO and President Kaz Hirai explained, in the course of an interview granted to the AV Watch portal ( reported by GamingBolt colleagues ), that VR has had little space as CES is generally an event in which different companies they show their global intentions for the coming year and thus not focusing on a single product.

That, according to Hirai, is something that is typically “entrusted” to events \ fairs dedicated to gaming. Now, if we consider that the launch window for PlayStation VR has been set for the first half of 2016, it is clear that Sony cannot wait for either E3 2016 (June) or GamesCom (August) because it would obviously be too late.

The next event useful for the announcement (unless an ad hoc conference is organized like the ones used to present a new console), is therefore the GDC 2016 which will be held in San Francisco between 14 and 18 March .

In all likelihood this will be the appointment that will kick off the pre-orders of the PlayStation VR, with the relative details on the price of the device (an estimate is that it is about under the 750 € of Oculus Rift, shipping included) and on the date release: conceivable for April or May if Sony intends to keep its word.
