PSVR sales to hit over 2.5 million by end of the year

Speaking in its latest report this week (via GI.biz), the company forecast sales of 2.6 million for Sony’s upcoming virtual reality gaming headset by the end of the year, making it far away the most successful VR product out this year. By comparison, rival platforms HTC Vive and Oculus Rift have currently not pulled in as many punters as one would have perhaps expected.

In fact, Sony’s only major competitor in this space will apparently come in the shape of Gear VR from Samsung, which is expected to move around 2.3 million units.

PSVR is scheduled for release worldwide on October 13, 2016. Sony hopes to have around 50 games out for the device by the end of the year, and has already notched up some great support for the headset---over 230 developers are working on games for the device.
