　　In addition to 3 million in sales of the hardware, Sony said it has sold 21.9 million games and "experiences" for the device.

　　Now Playing: 3 Million PlayStation VRs Sold - GS News Update

　　As NPD's Mat Piscatella reminds us, 82 million PS4s have been sold worldwide, so that means less than 4 percent of PS4 owners picked up a PlayStation VR headset. Piscatella went on to say that he believe that "immersive VR" on console and PC is "highly likely to stay niche." He added, "Can be a nice little business, but that's about it [in my opinion]."

　　Little shy of 4% of PS4 owners own a PSVR according to recent announcements from Sony.

　　Immersive VR (the PC and Console stuff) is niche, highly likely to stay niche. Can be a nice little business, but that's about it imo.
