The Virtual Reality Headset Market Just Hit a Major Milestone

Thus far, the virtual reality (VR) headset market has gotten off to a relatively slow start. Adoption has been held back by the usual suspects: relatively high hardware costs, a lack of must-have VR content, and slow acclimation to the idea of wearing an immersive headset. Plus, graphics performance needs to continue improving.

The good news is that the market just hit a major milestone, shipping over 1 million VR headset units in the third quarter for the first time, according to market researcher Canalys.
