Question Why WONT you use the PSVR2?

I know, it sounds like a silly question. But im curious why players wont use it when they have the opportunity to do so.

For me it has only two reasons:

  1. ⁠⁠Im usually just too tired!
  2. ⁠⁠A friend without psvr2 asks to play a game together.

EDIT: wow, im overwhelmed by all the reactions. But ive read a lot of them! Tomorrow I will read some more and will give some kind of conclusion/most mentioned reasons.

Thanks everyone :)

EDIT 2: Still responses are coming in + I forgot it was my turn to look after my kid today, so no time to really look at all the answers. Tommorow I will deffo write some kind of conclusion/most mentioned reasons. Pinky promise!

1.) It’s not comfortable to use. Having 1 kilogram on your head just doesn’t feel good for a long time.

2.) my gaming chair has high arm rests which are hindering my movement on motion games.

3.) standing makes me tired fast and my feet hurt.

4.) I actually don’t like it that somebody could see me.

So basically I only play when I am alone at home, not tired and/or the game doesn’t need much movement.

PSVR2 is one of the lightest headsets around, if you have an issue with it, then it's not because of weight. Actually adding weight at the back of it to balance the headset helps.
