Sony should be happy with the reception that the PSVR has had so far. The majority of people that have used it like the technology and like what it offers.

There are a few issues that doesn’t make it perfect for everyone. Some games cause more motion sickness than others, while there are other issues such as head tracking and more. Still, the issues are’t big enough to make the PSVR totally unplayable.
