According to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman , Apple is in talks with Sony about adding support for PlayStation VR2 hand controllers to the Vision Pro .
Apparently, Apple wants to make the Vision Pro more popular and attract gamers and game developers.
The Vision Pro has been pitched more as a productivity and “media consumption” device than something aimed at gamers. It relies primarily on eye and hand control and does not incorporate a separate controller.

It is worth noting that last month reports emerged that Apple has sharply reduced production of the Vision Pro headset and could completely stop production of the current version by the end of 2024. This means that Apple now has a sufficient number of devices (inventory) to meet demand until next year.
The reduced production of the Vision Pro may also be related to relatively low demand. The device offers augmented and virtual reality and users can control it using their eyes, hands, and voice. Reviews for the device, however, are mixed. Most users have been positive about the hardware and technology of the Vision Pro. Many express enthusiasm for the innovative features and technology offered by the device, such as advanced augmented reality and high screen resolution. The attention to detail and elegant design are also features that are often mentioned positively.

However, there have been negative comments about the weight of the device, while there are also questions about the actual operation of the headset, the intuitiveness of the controls, and VR in general. In addition, there are also consumers who express concerns about the price of the product. The cost of the Apple Vision Pro is considered by many to be too high, which may discourage its widespread acceptance in the market.

Perhaps Apple needs gamers if it wants to expand the Vision Pro's audience, especially since Gurman says that fewer than half a million units have been sold so far. So the company has reportedly talked to Sony about adding support for PlayStation VR2 to the Apple Vision Pro. It's also said to be talking to developers about adding controller support to their games.
