Going by Steam data, there appears to be about 50K Vive units out in the wild at the moment. I don't know about Oculus, but I suspect not much more because they seem to have difficulties shipping units.
However there is also Samsung's Gear VR and Google's Cardboard which are kinda-sorta VR but still VR.
On the other hand, my impression is that all available VR software is still demo-style crap. Yes, you spend some time doing ooooh and aaaah for a while, but never mind killer apps, I haven't even seen a decent game for VR yet. I am sure that will change, though. Eventually.
