Like I said, with a new product launch, especially something like this that is a relatively new type of device, there will always be an inherent risk when you launch, so you might intentionally restrain supplies to make sure there's zero possibility of them just collecting dust in store shelves. Could also be that they expect a majority of PSVR's sales to be frontloaded, so it doesn't make sense for them to build up production capacity, only to have to reduce it in a few months once initial demand has been covered. Or they are pulling a Wii and intentionally restricting supply to make the product seem more elusive, leading to higher demand in the coming months. Either way, selling out doesn't mean that it's necessarily exceeding expectations, though it does mean that it is at least so far reaching their expectations.
