Sony has sold almost 1 million PlayStation VR headsets worldwide.

Speaking with The New York Times, Sony Interactive Entertainment head Andrew House revealed that 915,000 PlayStation VR headsets had been purchased by people as of February 19. That's apparently outpacing company expectations, with House saying supply should catch up in April.

“It’s the classic case in any organization — the guys who are on the front end in sales are getting very excited, very hyped up," House said. “You have to temper that with other voices inside the company, myself among them, saying let’s just be a little bit careful."

Sony was originally targeting 1 million units sold of the headset within six months, a goal the company has nearly reached in just four.

To help hit that milestone, Sony has released a new PlayStation VR bundle that includes a copy of Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
