I think it can be cut down more than that. Reality is in essence the set of all things that are real. We know for a fact we cannot perceive certain things under certain conditions (i.e. being drunk, feverish, just general hallucinations) so we cannot base our view of reality on these.
A better quote would be "The combination of everyone's perceptions often constitutes a good basis for reality".
Of course this doesn't work all the time, because the majority of people believe in God, and as we all know this is ridiculous. There is a difference I think between what is visually perceptive and what is perceptive in one's mind alone.
