No promo left behind: Samsung cornered 72% of the VR market last year
Well, according to the latest estimates, Samsung controlled more than 70% of the consumer virtual reality market last year. Yep, its virtual reality department moved 4.51 million Gear VR units last year, or 71.6 percent of the 2016 market that amounted to 6.3 million devices shipped for a grand total of $1.8 billion in revenue.
Next in line was Sony's PlayStation VR with 12.5%, HTC's expensive Vive with 6.7%, and Google's Daydream View with 4.1%, though Google's contraption didn't start shipping until the last quarter, so it's a commendable result still.
