With forecasted unit shipments of 2.2 million in 2019, Sony is expected to retain its title as the world’s largest vendor of VR devices. Oculus, HTC are some of the other major players in the VR device market, with each controlling a relatively significant portion of the total market share, but still lagging far behind Sony in terms of shipments.
