Firm Superdata stated that in the fourth quarter of 2019 sales Valve index amounted to 103 thousand devices – in the reporting period it was the most popular helmet for the PC, despite the high cost of a thousand dollars.
It is noted that if Valve was able to predict the high demand for a VR device after the announcement Half-Life: Alyx, the total circulation could be higher, but now the device is simply impossible to purchase. It was sold all over the world.
However, despite the hype, the new product is still far from the sales pace of market leaders – PlayStation VR and Oculus Quest from October to December were sold in circulation of 338 and 317 thousand, respectively. In total, Sony by December 31 sold more than 5 million PS VR.
In 2019, Oculus Quest sold over 705 thousand copies, which is more than the combined sales of Oculus Go and Oculus Rift S. According to SuperData, the usability and autonomy of the Quest attract a large audience of consumers.
