The growth in VR headsets is quickly becoming a hockey stick. 5 million in 2020, 8 million this year, 11 million projected next year, with an install base of 25 million.
To put this in perspective, there were 8 million PS5 sales in 2022, and 6.5 million Xbox X.
I realize this is not quite an apt comparison, and I’m lumping all VR headsets from all manufacturers together. But this is rapidly becoming a big deal.
