Halo show producers, 343 Industries, and Spielberg drew heavily from Halo lore and charted their own storytelling path INSTEAD of looking at the game and creating a show that ties very closely to it. They believed this was necessary to properly adapt Halo for TV and for creative freedom. (Statements are from 2022)

Bloomberg: "Sony Group Corp. has paused production of its PSVR2 headset until it clears a backlog of unsold units, according to people familiar with its plans, adding to doubts about the appeal of virtual reality gadgets."
Sony didn't give this a chance. Few games based on big PlayStation properties. PSVR should allow you to immerse yourself in the PS worlds in VR. 
Lack of backwards compatibility, or even porting older PSVR games to PSVR 2.
No bundles with console/headset.
