Latest results:
These results are compared, at least for the Rift, to August when Rift peaked at 0.35 %. Since August 2018 Rift has decreased about 6 % (from 0.35 to 0.33). Vive also decreased.
Compared to other HMDs we see from April to September (note that this image hasn't been updated to October yet):
When updated to October I'd expect:
Rift = 45 %
Vive = 42 %
WMR = 8 %
Vive Pro = 3 %
Rift DK2 = 1 %

It'll probably end up selling around the same rate as the Vive Pro but if they made an effort to sell the things in retail they could comfortably outsell the Vive Pro I think. But that would mean effort, something that Valve stopped making around the same time they stopped be able to count to three. Wankers.

It won't sell even when they can, they'll need to cut the price first. Like I've said it might do okay to begin with but once the launch window has come and gone those sales will drop like a lead balloon.
They won't be able to sustain decent sales for long.

Seems like Rolex is still a thing - both Ferrari and Lamborghini haven't gone belly up too! 😉 Because things are expensive don't always mean that they won't sell and survive.
Yesterday was my last chance to refund the Index, it was an easy choice to keep it, to me it truly feels like a CV2. But I still have the CV1 + 3 sensors connected, I like having some security when going on new adventures, lol.

If that was the case no one would buy the Index full stop. People buy the Index because they value the extra FOV, they value the headphones, they value the extra resolution, they value the IPD adjustment, they value the Knuckles finger tracking, they value the squeeze function, they value the tracking, they value the comfort. That’s whats makes it worth buying for.
Why did you buy the RiftS as it’s not that big an upgrade over the Rift. Tracking worse, FOV the same, Controllers worse, sound quality worse. Everything about Rift S is worse apart from the resolution right?

Oculus have priced their headset at a sensible level.The Oculus Rift S is a much cheaper VR headset because it's shaved off a lot off things other headsets have. Had Oculus Rift S added headphones, higher resolution screens, an ipd adjuster, colour pass through camera's, the ability to connect to your mobile phone and a flip up front. Then I'm sure the Oculus Rift S would have been priced at £599 or higher.
