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. 

But there were people all around the web, and also here, saying that the PSVR would move consoles and it would be the second comming of Jesus, and so on.And now that the launch has come and go and the sales, well, are really low, those same people are saying:"well, its selling as much as Sony wanted, and the stocks were low so they are good".I completely agree that VR is a niche product, as I had been saying all along, and it was fated to sell like this, but then Nintendo is treated as if they are making something wrong.I know its easier to be sensasionalist with them, and it gives more clicks, but dammit is it annoying.
