15,000 units ordered within 10 minutes of reservation start

Reservations for the HTC Vive began on March 1st (Japan time), and 15,000 units were reserved in just 10 minutes.

The April shipment is sold out, and the current pre-order will be shipped in May.

I think its popularity so far is due in part to its specs.

Vive's position tracking feature utilizes two laser-illuminated base stations placed in the corners of the room you play. Sensors in the headset and controller receive encoded signals from the base station to determine location information. With this system, you can enjoy an indoor-scale VR experience from the day you purchase it .

Reference: "Oculus Rift", "HTC Vive", "PlayStation VR": Which would you choose to play in virtual reality?

The strong backbone of joint development is Valve

was created in collaboration with HTC and American game company Valve

Valve operates Steam

Steam has over 100 million users, and the number of simultaneous connections exceeds 10 million at its peak.

thoughts

By the way, the sales volume of PS4 is 35.9 million units and Xbox One is 13 million units, and
even if you add up the sales volume of PS4 and Xbox One, it cannot compete with Steam, which has 100 million users.

Even if you don't have a console device at home, you do have a PC.

So I wonder if HTC Vive will be out of the picture soon? That's what I think.
