I’m not sure what the point of the comparison was in the first place—as you say, phones and VR are not comparable markets. But,

So, I stand by my point that Quest, in a market struggling to establish itself in the consumer consciousness, has managed to sell similar numbers as the Galaxy Fold, the latest fad device in a massive well-established mainstream market. As much as you would like to spin that as a failure for Oculus, I don’t know how this can be seen as anything other than a massive success.

There are several articles out where Samsung has corrected that statement.After the original publication of this artlce, Samsung has since clarified to Korea’s Yonhap News Agency that it hasn’t actually sold one million Galaxy Fold devices, despite what executive Young Sohn said on stage earlier this week. Yonhap says a company spokesperson “said Sohn may have confused the figure with the company’s initial sales target for the year, emphasizing that sales of the tech firm’s first foldable handset have not reached 1 million units.” The company did not clarify how many Galaxy Fold devices have been sold, but it earlier said that it targeted 500,000 units for this year.So, I stand by my point that Quest, in a market struggling to establish itself in the consumer consciousness, has managed to sell similar numbers as the Galaxy Fold, the latest fad device in a massive well-established mainstream market.
