I know we saw something similar for one of the Oculus VR headsets recently, but for a home console, this has to be unprecedented, right? Seems like a terrible, terrible decision. Maybe it won't affect hardware sales in the short term, but between this and the AAA game prices, Sony seem determined to destroy the goodwill built up in the previous gen.
Such a weird company. I love (most of) their games and their dedication to VR, but I'm definitely not a fan of the business side of things. I blame Jim Ryan.
