Good article, about Gibsons great book. But I got a bit stuck on the start of the article.

It states: "I’ve plowed through the first wave of AVP (Apple Vision Pro) reviews, and it seems pretty obvious that, at the current price and form factor, it’s not gonna be a best-seller."

I'm not sure what constitutes a best-seller. But according to several news stories (which may all be based on the same anonymous rumor), Apple has sold 200.000 Apple Vision Pro headsets: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/29/apple-vision-pro-headse...

Does anybody know how many headsets the other VR vendors have sold?




Oculus has sold 20m+ million headsets. But it’s a very different headset, gaming focused.

That was 20m of their 7th-9th headsets (after DK1, DK2, Rift, Rift S, GearVR, Go). Other than the Quest 2, I don't think any VR headset has sold at the rate the AVP is currently selling at.


Oculus DK1 sold 56,334

Oculus DK2 sold 118,930

Rift and Vive together ~1 million

PSVR1 ~6 million

Quest123 20+ million
