Nvidia boasts about sales of 15 million VR-ready PCs — even as PlayStation 4 hits 50 million

The Oculus Rift and HTC Vive might offer a superior VR experience to PlayStation VR, but there’s one very big reason the latter is poised to perform better on the market, at least in the short term.

That’s not a final total of VR Ready PCs as a whole; the number doesn’t count machines that use cards from rivals like AMD that haven’t revealed similar statistics. We’ve reached out to AMD to ask to share such data.
