I'm not saying whether Oculus or PsVR will sell well or not. But we don't know how many of each have been promised to retailers. Remember the original Kinect sold out its first 4 shipments before launch. Also recently Surfacebook sold out for over a month worth of preorders before launch.

Oculus and PSVR selling out preorders was expected. People with high disposable income will just buy regardless. Its the other 95% of the population that matters where product success is concerned.

Well the orginal kinect was a success (especially first year) the problem was the lack of games. 

And the reason was a developer could make a game for 40 million 360s or make a game for a few million Kinect owners. One of the issues I think that will affect VR on consoles especially this gen. I can't remember which big publisher said it ( EA or Ubisoft I think ) but they said they weren't allocating any development to VR anytime soon. They wanted to see how things went. You have to also remember you could get Kinect for £129.99 at launch. Not £349.99.
