According to new reports, production of PSVR 2 has been paused because Sony has a surplus of stock that hasn't been sold.

The best VR headsets have always been a niche accessory for gaming. They certainly don't sell as well as PCs, laptops, or consoles, but they've carved out a large enough portion for themselves that they're an established technology that's definitely on the rise.
