Umm... it not really that niche. 750k is really good considering it was $400-500 just to get. And its only been out for less than two months. I agree with you that 5% would be incredible for new tech like this but I think it will be closer to 15% by then end of the gen. And 15 million or so units is actually more than even VITA so its looking quite good. Is Sony even capable of producing 26 million headset before years end? When I got one from GameStop they only had 15 with no idea on when it would be restocked. Amazon is sold out constantly. So is GameStop:

If you are in the US try your zip code. All are low stock if you can find them. There really aren't that many out there to buy. Meaning that Sony didn't ship anywhere near what Super Data 'estimated'. I.. I don't know where they came up with that number... or even the 750k lol.
But I defy anyone to explain how 750k in just over a month is a failure.
