A little over a year ago, I wrote a bit about the bet about when VR headsets would sell more than 10M units in a year. The original bet was made in 2016 about whether this would happen in 2019. It clearly did not. While I haven't yet pulled industry-wide numbers, The Verge reported in November 2021 that the Quest 2 alone has sold 10M units since it launched in Oct 2020, about 13 months prior to The Verge's report. I'd say it's pretty safe to say the 2021 was the year VR headsets sold more than 10M units.
