This thread is about people in Japan lining up for PSVR. What does your statement about Sony not talking about PSVR sales have to do with this thread other than PSVR?

Well some see these long lines as a good sign and I think it's safer to get a hard number out of Sony rather than relying on anecdotal evidence.

They're selling all they can produce and not able to meet demand. They obviously feel no need to announce figures. 

Obviously but PSVR needs adoption for it to be successful: developers aren't gonna hop on if there isn't much adoption so it might benefit PSVR customers and developers if Sony were to announce figures. Last I checked, Sony hasn't given PSVR numbers when they're more than happy to announce PS4 numbers.

My question is why?

Because they can't shipped enough to meet the sales numbers they would have wanted to release.  The reason being the oled shortage.

In stock does not mean not selling lol.  It means they are getting in replacements for the stock they're selling.  I don't go into my local shop ane say "oh look the milk isn't selling" just because the shelf is always full of milk everyday.  Your local is one of the lucky ones.  There are major shortages documented all over Europe,  Asia,  Middle East and many smaller regions.

Im a regular at my local Nedgames, im in there 2-3 times a week its just around the corner. I actually asked how the PS VR was selling and they told me it was popular the first day it released and then they have basically just been sitting on the shelves since then.  Anyhow I've just seen a guy online selling a 2nd hand PSVR unit with camera, move controls and a 500g ps4 console for only 400 euros! I might buy it and flick the ps4 off since I already own two of them.

Funny I asked in my local and they said they're flying off the shelves in gamestops all over the country.  Online retailers and stores in many countries WW are completely out of stock.  Japan being one of them.
