The third most developed market for Virtual Reality headsets is China. 11% of all VR sets go to the Chinese market. HTC is an undisputable leader there with 15,000 shipped Vives or about a quarter of the whole market.
Japan managed to jump in second due to heavy demand for Sony’s in-house VR headset. According to Canalys analysts, “Gaming and entertainment continue to be the key driver for VR headsets [..] Sony has to ensure AAA titles are comfortable to play on PlayStation VR for extended periods of time”.
