VRFocus - Oculus VR is playing its cards close to its chest when it comes to pre-order data for its Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD). The company has refused to share any figures about how many people have laid down an early order for the anticipated device before it starts shipping later this month. HTC, on the other hand, is taking a different approach. The Taiwanese smartphone maker launched the pre-order campaign for its own HMD, the HTC Vive, yesterday, and has already revealed how many units it sold in the first 10 minutes of going on sale.
Viveport, the VR retail platform from HTC is now giving developers 90% of their game revenue, instead of a 70/30 spilt like Steam.
It could be free and it wouldn't matter at this point. There isn't really a PCVR Market and I say that as a PCVR user. It is modders and enthusiasts with a few retail products on Steam.
Are you planning a Halloween Party this year? How about those friends and family that live far away? Vive has a plan for you.
I'm pretty sure everyone is going to the VR chat Halloween Party already.
Morels: Homestead, a relaxing game in which you can create your own unique homestead, is available now for PC VR.
Thats fairly impressive.
Nice. Glad to see VR is getting support from gamers. It's the only way it will improve for everyone in the future. Good stuff!
But did they sell 90,000 in 1 hour?
considering the price, that's not joke..
Kudos..
