915,000 PlayStation VR units have sold to consumers as of February 19, 2017, Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced.

It looks likely Sony will comfortably reach its one million sales target for mid-April, and this despite widespread stock shortages for the hardware.

Andrew House, President and Global CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said in a statement that Sony is “increasing production to meet demand and will continuously support content developers as they create innovative VR experiences that are only possible on PlayStation”.

More than 100 PS VR experiences will be released in 2017.

By comparison to PC-based VR, PlayStation’s effort has performed extremely well. SuperData Research puts Oculus Rift at only 243,000 units, with HTC Vive at 420,000, as of the end of 2016.
