I mentioned that exactly because of you talking about mainstream success of pioneering new technology... I' sure you can see the connection.

There is no connection. VR has existed for literally decades. This is not "pioneering new technology" in any way. It's just a better version of it.

The fact that you just put the first model's total sales up there without the context for why it only sold that many units shows how you're not looking at VR reasonably. Imagine in its first year if the PSVR was only sold in Best Buys in America, only worked with PS4 Pros, and required a persistent internet connection. That's about on par with the first iPhone's retail situation. And it still sold *six times* what the PSVR did in one year before it was replaced with the iPhone 3G,

That's why the first iPhone only sold 7 million units. What's PSVR's excuse?

Its a perephial which is almost as expensive as the PS4 itself. Never the less I doubt PSVR will ever be something but Niche. And for a perephial which is sold for 200 bugs and above. I would still say its a succes. Don't own one though and probably never will.
