Selling out just doesn`t mean nothing. If they offer extreme low numbers of course it`s going to sell out. It would mean more to sell 4 million from a 5 million initial shipment than selling 100.000 from 100.000... for example. And the later scenario is much more likely since no hard numbers were shared, whitout any real data this kind of headline is just... you know... clickbait ...

And I somewhat agree.What actually irks me the wrong way is that when Nintendo releases this kind of press(or it is released for them, you got what I meant), everyone says "Oh, its Nintendo creating artificial demand again!".It can be, but its everytime.But when its PSVR, everyone says, "Oh no, its meeting Sonys expectations, so low sales are good".I mean, I know Im comparing an acessory to a console, but the double standard is tiring.

I think there`s more related to media than the companies actually. Nintendo these days brings lots of clicks, Switch will bring more clicks than PS VR, so it`s much more worth it make " WOW SWITCH IS GREAT!!!!!" kind of headline than for PS VR. And for PS VR defense it is a very niche product right now, it`s more about getting developers on board to catch support so when the future generations that are really meant to be mass market comes there will already be a good offer of software and devs will already have experience with, just like all the VR industry right now.
