Latest results:
These results are compared, at least for the Rift, to August when Rift peaked at 0.35 %. Since August 2018 Rift has decreased about 6 % (from 0.35 to 0.33). Vive also decreased.
Compared to other HMDs we see from April to September (note that this image hasn't been updated to October yet):
When updated to October I'd expect:
Rift = 45 %
Vive = 42 %
WMR = 8 %
Vive Pro = 3 %
Rift DK2 = 1 %

Thanks as always for your clarification @snowdog - understand that you implied it was rubbish from a developers perspective rather than saying it was. B)

I think with the last executive supporters of PCVR leaving last year for the Facebook AR project, the remaining teams at OculusVR focused on Quest with the sales explosion, and abandoned any additional investment @OmegaM4N - this would have explained the slow support for Rift-S issues that many complained about, and also why Lenovo went so quiet. Quest Link seems to have been a painful surprise for Lenovo, the same way that Samsung was "surprised" during their partnership.
Would not be surprised to see a Quest2 in six-months that has a dedicated PCVR support (dedicated Link), and that would be the end of any possibility of a CV2 - though would still keep the PCVR scene alive, though placing the Rift-S on the shelf. I wonder how much this will be blamed retroactively on the Global Heath crisis?

I would be surprised to see any high-end PCVR move from Oculus in the near-future too. Horizon is probably taking up a lot of Oculus' time.
Seems that Valve/Steam is taking over high-end PCVR, also with the Reverb G2 coming up - which I would not be surprised to see with full support for Knuckes and Base Stations 2.0. Especially as the major problems of the Reverb are the controllers and the tracking.

You don't have a brand as strong as the Rift and stop development of it. Same goes for the Quest too. They'll continue to release both headsets going forward, with the Rift line using new technology which will filter down eventually to the Quest line once it becomes cheap enough to include in the headsets.
