I think the sales are really impressive considering the circumstances.

- high price
- niche technology
- niche platform(concerning games)
- several factors limiting the demographic
- high profile competitor for a lower price

PSVR eliminates 3 of those points.

Which proves a high end device like the Vive was never going to get VR to the mass market.  Sony definitely did things right. 

They couldn't really do anything else. Releasing mainstream consumer goods for affordable prices is what they do.  They did the best they could for a specific prise range they had in mind from the start. I doubt a high price was ever even an option for them.

Saying "Sony did things right" suggests that Oculus and Valve did something wrong, which I don't think is the case.
