I think these figures are a bit outdated and they are only estimations. Remember The Rift only got touch controllers in December, before that everybody recommended the Vive because of roomscale. Then the Rift price reduction only happened in March. These things will take a little while to gain momentum. But, even look at these forums, there are a lot of new Rift owners since March. And now this Sale. Will be interesting to see what happens and you maybe right, but I don't see it happening.
I don't think it will. In fact it's not that situation it all, it doesn't have to be one or the other. The market is big enough for several players. What's more important than anything is that more and more people get into VR.

YEs but stock will dry up at distribution sooner rather than later. Better to make sure and buy early than wait and be unlucky. The promotion will end when there is no stock left or after 6 weeks. Whichever comes first.
If you have more recent figures then share with the rest of the class
But you see the problem, you don't have figures to share either, nobody does. HTC and Oculus haven't released any sales figures, your links are only estimations. And even then, the estimations have to be of out of date as the price drop only happened in March, Star Trek bridge crew only released at the end of May.

No I can't my eyes are not compatible. Already tried!
Shucks, commiserations...that's a bummer
I use mine with glasses and sometimes contacts, depends on the frames, my glasses fit inside without any issue but some large frame designs may struggle.

Surely you can set the rift up to scale to your site if you know your prescription?!?!
Soldato
Mine wouldnt fit and they are not big framed especially. the problem was not the front frame but the sides and the bit over the ears. I could use them without the glasses but this increased the headache and my eyes would water, not focus and the image was slightly blurred. I am long sighted in one eye and short sighted in the other. Adjusting them made no difference.
Anyway if James Cameron's claims are true his new Avatar films in 3D without glasses could lead to VR without a headset ! Yeah in about 50 years.

You can buy 3rd party prescription lenses that can be fixed inside, there is no way to adjust the rift itself, there is an eye width adjustment on the bottom of the headset but that is it.

My glasses are huge and I can get them on...put the glasses in place then fit the whole thing over your head, sorted. I do prefer contacts though because it does press on the nosepiece a little, I've got a new facial interface set en route which will hopefully sort this out.

You can get prescription glasses that fit inside the Rift or Vive. No excuses anymore.

Think I`ll pass again.
Indeed it does and I had no idea till I recorded some game footage and realised it picked up my language
Now I just need to figure out how to get that speech recognition package working with Elite!
Soldato
Depending the game (VRAM usage), yes. With 17.4.1 FuryX got ASW also.
Haven't tried it, and given the offer for the Rift will run for 5 weeks, I am waiting any counter price drop from HTC. (hopefully).
