I've been trying to find out how many dev kits there are in total for the kickstarter campaign, in order to estimate a start date for shipping out pre-order dev kits, based on the info on the number of dev kits that have already been shipped. I've been hanging around this forum pretty much since it was opened up, just a side note for those who'd want to jump to the conclusion that I haven't read the other threads.
So far, the info has been focused on the kickstarter backers and their dev kits, which is very understandable. But you also have a huge bunch of pre-orders with little info about when our kits are being sent out to us. Could you/Oculus shed some light on this subject please?

Hey mate when did you order yours?
There is a spreadsheet but its not complete or completely uptodate.
Palmer mentions 13000 pre orders:

And the May thing
http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/1caxuo/gdc_recap_and_shipping_update/c9f5nmt?context=3
From memory 7500 from kickstarter another 2500 up to Christmas and about another 7000 since then.
The order numbers do not tally with physical numbers as October they jumped from 10000 to 20000 and December time 22000 odd to 40000 odd. Now I believe we have another jump to 50000...
Don't despair as Palmer did say that all pre orders should be fulfilled in May and the expected ship date on the web site has only just gone to expected ship in June.
They are a young company and have achieved an incredible amount in a short space of time so delays are inevitable.
Thats life as they say.
