Virtual reality headset shipments are showing no signs of slowing, as the quarterly total exceeded 1 million units for the first time in Q3 2017. Sony took the lead, shipping more than 490,000 PlayStation VR (PS VR) sets in Q3. It was followed by Oculus, which shipped 210,000 of its Rift headsets. HTC took third place, shipping 160,000 Vive VR units. Collectively, Sony, Oculus and HTC made up 86% of the total market in Q3 2017.Click to expand...

This obviously doesn't count mobile VR, where Cardboard shipped 5 million units a year ago. Still, what an accomplishment for a nascent industry.

This is only about the quarter, not lifetime sales.
