New Delhi: Meta Quest 2, previously often called Oculus Quest 2 shipped over 10 million or 100 lakh headsets by the tip of 2021, a brand new report mentioned on Friday. According to Counterpoint Research’s XR (AR & VR headsets) Model Tracker, the US alone contributed 70% to Meta Quest 2’s shipments, adopted by Europe with roughly 20% shipments. Since it’s a fashionable tech present half of its shipments occurred in the course of the vacation season within the final quarter of each 2020 and 2021.

Even as Quest Meta 2’s cumulative shipments are 1.5 instances larger than its subsequent greatest competitor Sony PSVR, the headset will face extra competitors from the extremely anticipated PSVR 2, in addition to the units that DPVR and Pico launch in 2022.
“We saw an increase in DPVR’s presence in overseas markets in 2021 and it will continue to expand in 2022. Since acquiring Pico, ByteDance, the parent of TikTok, is pouring a lot of resources to strengthen the Pico brand with an increased focus on content as well as through faster staff hiring, superior consumer VR hardware and competitive pricing,” Chauhan added.
Counterpoint Research estimated that the corporate will ship almost 12 million VR headsets in 2022, together with the upcoming Project Cambria product that can be launched later in 2022 to showcase Meta’s potential capabilities. However, greater than 80% of the amount can be pushed by Quest 2, which can be obtainable all year long at a value level that could be a candy spot for VR headsets.
