The SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project team has just announced on Twitter that they will be featuring a Project Morpheus virtual reality tech demo for the PlayStation 4 at E3 2015 from June 16th~18th, featuring none other than Hatsune Miku. Please note that this is a technology demonstration, and not an announcement of a new game (although these features may be considered for a future game).

The virtual reality headset isn’t due to launch for the PS4 until sometime in the first half of 2016, but Sony is working with partners like SEGA to showcase what the technology can do. The feature example of this tech demo is the ability to enjoy a virtual concert up close and personal, as if you’re actually there.

The tech demo will feature a virtual concert with Miku singing a medley of music composed by Mitchie M, and SEGA promises the sensation and experience of the demo will be breathtaking. As for the future of the Project Diva series, SEGA says to continue looking forward to future announcements.

Limited Edition Hatsune Miku Expo Shanghai PlayStation 4 and Vita Bundles Sell Out In One Day

Beginning June 12th, Hatsune Miku fans were able to place reservations at the Huaihai Road store in Shanghai for 100 white PlayStation 4 units, and 100 white PlayStation Vita units, each with their own unique bonuses. The PS4 bundle was priced at 2899 Yuan ($465 USD), and included a replacement hard drive cover plate with a decorative Miku Expo decal, and a ticket voucher for an “A” section seat at the concert. The Vita bundle included a somewhat simple looking Miku Expo shirt, and cost 1299 Yuan ($208 USD).

As one of the main event sponsors of Hatsune Miku Expo in Shanghai, Sony PlayStation China seems to have underestimated the attraction Hatsune Miku goods have to hardcore fans, and didn’t have nearly enough stock of their event promotion bundles (haven’t we seen something like this happen before?). Despite planning to keep reservations open until June 20th, the bundles have been reported to be completely sold out in the first 24 hours. Honestly, who didn’t see that one coming?

Hopefully Sony will learn from this and stock enough goods in the future. And preferably with goods not as expensive as the Miku Xperia edition phone, which sold poorly for being too costly. Official promotion page: http://www.playstation.com.cn/activities/MIKU.htm
