Shuhei himself nor the interviewer didn't ever mention anything about expectations in relation to PSVR, the interviewer just asked if he could give a general idea as to how it's doing and Shuhei answered that it's sold out basically everywhere.

Then to be brutally honest, "exceding expectations" and "selling out" doesn't mean much, because those expectations and the shipment numbers could have been unimpressive to begin with.

I didn't say otherwise, just passing on the information in the article. As I said, Shuhei Yoshida didn't even say it was "exceeding expectations". Word for word he said "Well, it's selling out pretty much everywhere." And you are right. There's not much to make of that. It's pretty much just a small factual statement, and we can't gauge demand or numbers from that at all, and it's hard to day anything positive or negative. I think it's pretty natural that Sony haven't been shouting their expectations over the rooftops for a brand new product like this where they don't know fully what to expect.
