Sony Group Corp. has drastically reduced their sales projections for the upcoming PSVR 2 after pre-order numbers fail to meet expectations according to an article posted on Bloomberg.
The article reads that due to lower than expected pre-orders for the second generation PlayStation VR headset, Sony has reduced forecasted projections for this quarter from 2 million to 1 million units.
Initially pre-orders via PlayStation Direct were only available to those who had registered interest and received a unique pre-order link, but after some time this was changed and PSVR 2 pre-orders were open to all on the site which may give some truth to the article.
Have you pre-ordered or do you have any intention to purchase the upcoming PSVR2? What factors play into your decision? Let us know in the comments below.

Update:
Sony have refuted the claims according to Games Industry.
Sony has denied its cutting PSVR 2 shipments: "We are seeing enthusiasm from PlayStation fans for the upcoming launch, which includes more than 30 titles such as Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Call of the Mountain, and Resident Evil Village." https://t.co/tEzBNf85uS
