That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
What does he care how well the PCVR market is doing when his VR is selling gangbusters? Sony is mainly concerned about one thing, and that is their own business. Their business is slow because there isn't enough content because VR is struggling to appeal to the mass market. To appeal to the mass market VR needs to offer experiences that they can't get anywhere else and VR needs to be established as a mainstream medium. All this comes back to content. More content = more potential customers. Imagine if Netflix decides to produce all their new shows for VR. Suddenly the donsumer is there and VR is in everyone's awareness because there is now more content that people would actually like to see.
So why isn't there more content and why isn't Sony happy if their HMDs are selling so well? Because Sony doesn't make money through hardware, but software. More software means more bucks for them. It also brings more people into their eco system which is all they really want. So how do you get more content? You open your market to more content which will increase consumers, which will increase demand, which will increase content, which will increase the public image of VR, which will increase Sony's profits. And that's what they want.
Don't try to tell me they're concerned that other VR companies are not making enough money. They aren't complaining that they're making too much money, they're complaining that they're not making enough because the competitors aren't doing free marketing for them by having strong sales of their own.

How do you contradict yourself in the span of 3 sentences. You said their psvr is selling like gangbusters then you said their business is slow. I dont even.....

That was a rhetorical question. It obviously is not selling enough for Sony or else they wouldn't complain. If you read everything and not just the first 3 sentences you might get it from the context.
