A market intelligence company SuperData mentioned last week that VR headset shipments are slowing, with the exception of the Oculus Go. While the Go made an estimated 289,000 shipments in Q2 2018, other major headset sales were down 50% in the first half of 2018 compared to the same time last year.

Variety is reporting that| Digital Trends article called “VR Is In A Tailspin And The Sales Numbers Prove It” was debunked by HTC on its blog. Using Amazon sales rank data, the publication claimed purchases of VR headsets, like HTC’s Vive, are dropping.

Digital Trends wrote. “At the time, tech experts declared that high-end PC VR had arrived. The $799 HTC Vive, built for relatively high-end PCs, had the entertainment and gaming world scrambling to develop content for the new system, and sales for the system quickly climbed to an impressive top-50 spot despite the higher price tag. Today, though, its sales rank has plummeted.”

HTC company said. “Vive has paced at its highest sales velocity of all time, for weeks on end, and we sold out,” it said. “For a consumer electronic product in its third calendar year, this continued trajectory is nearly unheard of.

“Don’t worry, though: we are ramping up production of the original Vive and units will continue to roll out to online and retail over the coming weeks.”
