Sony has sold more than 500,000 headsets in the three months through June, showed data from IDC, giving it an "unmatched" lead over rivals such Facebook Inc's Oculus Rift and HTC Corp's Vive, the researcher said.

"I'm not entirely comfortable being the market leader in VR by such a margin that seems to be happening right now," Andrew House, chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc, said in an interview.

PSVR still going strong. There should be another surge in sales when GT drops and I expect Sony to drop the price this holiday.

I never thought I'd hear a business man say he's not happy with having a monopoly.

Probably around ~1.5 million sold LTD.

Probably needs more competition so more games are made. VR is still too young right now.

I know.  I still wish regular developers were like "We want VR, but we don't want to spend the resources to downgrade the game to 60fps.  Sony do it for us"  I mean, there's no excuse other than that for any first person shooter game to not be VR.
