GAMESTOP CEO SAYS PLAYSTATION VR COMING THIS FALL
By Alex Osborn Update: GameStop has since replied to our request for comment, telling IGN: "To clarify, Sony has not officially announced a release date for PlayStation VR. Whenever it launches, we are excited about how the technology will change gaming."
Contrary to prior reports, it appears PlayStation VR may not launch within the first half of 2016, as a recent comment by GameStop CEO Paul Raines suggests the device will instead release this fall.
"We will launch the Sony product this fall," Raines said of PlayStation VR in an interview with Fox News, noting the company is also "in discussions with the other two players," those being Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
We've reached out to GameStop for further details, and will update the story as soon as we receive a response.
In addition to remaining tight-lipped on PlayStation VR's launch date, Sony has yet to announce a price for its upcoming virtual reality device. According to Sony exec Andrew House, the headset will be priced as "new gaming platform."
Earlier this month, Sony VR studio head Dave Ranyard announced his departure from the company in order to pursue independent ventures.
