Oculus Rift 2 Coming Not Until 2019...

Interesting article today which uses Facebook's Oculus Hardware estimates per year to basically show that the Oculus Rift 2 is not planned for release until 2019.  http://ir.net/news/virtual-reality-headsets/124064/facebook-expects-600k-oculus-rifts-sales-in-2016-...

The graph shows that sales of the Rift will soar through 2017 before falling off in 2018.  Then in 2019 an all-out explosion of hardware sales.  It is expected that Facebook will sell 10 million headsets in 2019 alone and 13 million in 2020.  Thoughts?

I don't get it, why would this research company know Facebook's future plans? Or is Cantor Fitzgerald part of Facebook?


Palmer has said a couple times that Rift generations will fall somewhere between a phone (1 year) and a console (4-5 years?).
Not a Rift fanboi. Not a Vive fanboi. I'm a VR fanboi. Get it straight.

Anyone even entertained the possibility of it being an April Fools prank?
