Why would the PSVR dominate the PC market.  They would lose out to the OR and VIVE on hardware and pretty soon MS and their partners will have a device in the Market that does both AR/VR for a cheaper price.  If anything the the PC market is going to become more competitive which should be good for Sony.  Better,. cheaper devices will increase adoption of VR and thus more games.  If MS makes a standard framework then we will see more AR/VR devices in the market at cheaper prices which should hit that sweet spot for mass market appeal.

Sony sales are already a lot bigger than the others while they are outside of PC, so the probability of they selling even more if on PC is real, and it's even possible that they could outsell HTC and Oculus on PC as well.

Of course Sony sells is higher.  It was a much cheaper device when launch on the PS4 and the PS4 install base is large.  There is no advantage Sony has in the PC market.  They would not have any exclusive games since non of their exclusives play in the PC market, they would not have the best hardware since the VIVE, OR and even the hardware MS is coming out are better.  They would not have the best price since the OR and MS hareware are cheaper.  MS hardware with controls are cheaper.  So no, there is no advantage for the PSVR in the PC market.  There is no market for the PSVR as a PC device and it loses the Sony exclusives.  Even still the hardware is made for the PS4 and designed to work with that hardware, going to the PC would add a lot more cost in a very competitive enviroment with no real gain.

Has it passed 2m shipped yet? Its been available for almost a year now.

The fact that this is in the lead just shows you how little demand there is for VR.

Possibly so, they sold 500k in 3 low sales months, why wouldn't they have sold 1.5M in the other 9 months?

All reports Sony gave on PSVR were of good sales.
