According to Canalys, VR headset shipments hit 1 million units in the last quarter. This is the first time 1 million units have ever shipped in a quarter. That’s a lot of headsets and It seems to me that the reason more units are selling is because prices are starting to drop to reasonable levels. Also, I wonder if this means we’ll finally start to get decent VR games or are there still not enough headsets out there for companies to make major investments in VR games?



The global VR headset market is expected to gain a sizeable boost in 2018 from new entrants supporting Microsoft’s Windows Mixed Reality platform. “VR in business can be applied to many industries, such as manufacturing, healthcare and education,” said Low. “As top-tier PC vendors, including HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus and Dell, launch their own VR headsets, using their distribution channel efficiencies, one can expect a strong VR uptake in business.”
