Is PSVR already a success??

Given the pre-orders for day one units have been exhausted at many major retailers(Amazon UK, EB Games in Australia etc) and that the unit is still 7 months away from launching, is it safe to say the product will be a success? We all know that if an item is seen as desirable and the supply is low, that drives desire for the product even more. We saw this with the PS4 and the stock shortages, although that occurred after launch, where with the PSVR it occurred basically in one day. With media outlets reporting that the PSVR pre-orders are all sold out, will this drive more interest in it?

well, WiiU preorders were sold out aswell, but early demand probably was amplified by scalpers trying to make a buck and dropped off very quickly

both Occulus and Vive sold out first shipments very quickly, so scalpers probably hopped onto PSVR aswell - whether or not this kind of demand will persist is to be seen

Wii U's here in Australia were available to puchase in store on day one. Unsure about the rest of the world though.
