Its sales in the mainstream markets may be under a cloud, but virtual reality seems to have taken off in the gaming industry. According to Andrew House, CEO of Sony Corporation's (SNE) Interactive Entertainment unit, the company has sold 915,000 Playstation VR headsets since they were launched in October last year. In an interview with the New York Times, House said that customers were "lining up outside stores when they know that stock (of its VR headsets) is being replenished" in Japan, one of the largest markets for its Playstation gaming consoles. The company has a sales target of one million VR headsets by April 2017. (See also: Sony Enters VR Race With Playstation VR.)
