I'm surprised it's so popular. I would never buy one, it's like a baby's toy compared to the rift when it comes to gaming. Is the selling feature it's media capabilities with the better screens? I'd like it as a media device if the screens are a lot better than rift, but I hate having a box strapped to my face to watch media so I'd probably never use it. I tried it on Rift and it felt uncomfortable to me.

I'm taking mine with me for the long plane journey, I have found myself playing the GO more during weekdays rather than the Rift, I can just chillax and get comfy in bed and play something casual, rather than strapping in Ready Player One style into the Rift. GO is soooooo comfortable compared to the Rift especially for people with large heads like mine, the Rift is too tight on my temples for longer VR sessions, the GO's foam face interface is like a cloud hugging you, and the visual clarity makes it perfect for watching videos.

Do you have both a PC and a smart phone?GO is a VR Device, and VR is more than just a gaming platform. GO does really well in this regard. Plenty of articles online showcasing the value of MobileVR outside the realm of gaming.

Yup. I see it as primarily a media device myself. If I'm remembering correctly the Xiaomi Mi Store is chock full of media stuff in the Far East.
I'm not interested in getting one either because gaming is the main priority for me personally, although I do watch the footy and films in the virtual cinema in Virtual Desktop quite a lot.

nrosko said:Please present some evidence of this. I support & want Oculus to do well & have no regrets on my purchase in fact i do not ever recall saying wish i had purchased a Vive.I did provide evidence. You are the same nrosko who posted this, right?I'm not going to keep quoting it; you can see it just fine.Again, that's your right and if the Rift failed you as a product then your anger is understandable. But make no mistake, you and I have butted heads many a times because of your strong sentiment against anything that puts Oculus products in a good light. Whenever I talk about an Oculus Game that I enjoy, instead of addressing the topic you'll instantly get personal with either myself (e.g. calling me a "shill") or the community in general (like calling everyone a "blind" fanboy in this thread).
nrosko said:We want to know how well Oculus Go is doing & if it is the popular product it hopes to be. If that Amazon sales chart was accurate then it might give an indication of how well its doing.You aren't answering the question though. Do you believe that HTC Vive sales on Amazon are relative to the Oculus GO sales? Do you believe that Oculus GO sales are limited to HTC Vive sales due to their "relativity?"Because that's what you're defending in this thread.

Again please post evidence of where i have strong sentiments againsts anything that puts Oculus in a good light. Also again where I have accused everyone of being a blind fanboy itt? And i guess i'm not the only one who thinks you are an Oculus employee https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/51875/zenbane-palmer-luckey/p1 😄
I'm not defending his statement again with the strawman, i'm asking why people are getting so upset over it & being somewhat hostile towards him. I personally can't answer whether the sales relative as i don't know how the Amazon charts works hence me saying 'if' the sales charts accurate. I frankly don't really care it's just a bit of interesting info to me.
