Mighty Insights: Virtual Reality

Games industry analyst Superdata predicts 70 million VR headsets will be in the wild by the end of 2017, resulting in $8.8 billion in VR hardware revenue and $6.1 billion in VR software sales.

Superdata’s research also suggests that about 31% of American console gamers plan to get a PlayStation VR, which is a fair slice of the 11 million strong US PS4 install base. 18% of PC gamers indicate they’ll buy an Oculus Rift, which is also impressive. Both headsets launch in 2016.
