What kind of software was released for the PSVR in that time? What kind of software for the pro?
we dont have any real sales number either so the comparison is kinda dumb at all, especially with many people that pick up a psvr buying a pro sooner or later anyway to make their vr expierence even better. Sony actually said that the pro ownership is especially high for vr owners.
Also PSVR is still a completly new medium while the ps4/pro is a established console. People know what it does (more performance, highger resolution) like basically all playstation upgrade did before as well.
I dont think the comparison makes any sense at all. PSVR is expected to increase in sales heavily, not sure if its the same for the pro.

The pro has zero exclusive games. In fact, Sony won't allow anyone to make any game exclusively for the PS4 Pro at this time. Meanwhile, the PSVR has dozens of exclusive games like R.I.G.S., which Sony gave away to all PS+ subscribers.
Like I said, we know the PS4 Pro sold *at least* 2 million by June 2017.
PS4 Pro vs PSVR is a completely fair comparison. They're both new Playstation products. They both enhance the Playstation gaming experience. They were both released at about the same time. They're both completely optional from the core PS4 experience. Yet, one has been more expensive since its announcement, has never dropped in price, and has sold more.
I can guarantee you if PSVR was outselling PS4 Pro you would have mentioned it in this thread as evidence to the popularity of it.
VR is not a completely new medium. I can remember playing Duke Nukem 3D VR at a theme park in the 90's. Just because Sony decided to wade into the VR waters doesn't make the experience new.

Oh come on...you're really grasping at straws here. Your theme park experience has nothing to do with consumer VR of today and PSVR has really nothing to do with Pro...if at all Pro has hindered PSVR's success, since there is only so much money people can spend. And the huge difference here is that PSVR only sold to people with an according console, the Pro did not.
You're throwing two different things in one pot, that's not helping the discussion at all. PSVR was sold out for half a year or so, so was the Pro, so I guess it's safe to say both are meeting or even exceeding expectations.
No need to downplay anything here.
