Not selling as well as hoped... it's not even released yet, and there's people reporting shortages for the 512gb in lots of countries.

I've not watched, so what are his sources?

ShiWarrior said:
to be honest i think it IS selling very well

someone already said its sold out in a couple of places i think?

I fail to see how it ISNT selling well tbh.

I think his sources are an article from that rock of unbiased reporting website called Ars Technica. That's sarcasm by the way. Basically Ars Technia hate Meta/Facebook. Remember they were the ones that said the Quest 2 was crap and it was going to fail badly. They produced another article recently saying that the Quest 3 sales were terrible and, just like their Quest 2 article, gave a lot of dubious information to backup their claim.

Now, I don't know if the Quest 3 is selling well or not. I don't think it's going to sell as well as the Quest 2 as that was released in a perfect storm. But I wouldn't base how good or bad the Quest 3 is doing or how good/bad the Quest 3 is from an article from Ars Technia.

The Ars technica review was awesome in just how bad it was

if it's from them I'll definitely be taking it with a pinch of salt!

Argos had the 512gb version on their site for about a day then it disappeared.

SimonRigga · 9 Oct 2023 at 16:01

apparently Asgard wrath 2 is on until January
BUT if you pre order, you get Asgard wrath exclusives what ever that is

Thanks. My mum gets a discount at the never undersold place so if the reviews are good I'll get a 512gb through her I think.

My Mary Berry order is now showing as being packed!

Mine's still showing as 'Order placed', my CC has been charged so might have to give them a call if it does not change status in the next 48hrs

Oh, now showing 'being packed'. Guess they will ship all their stock out this evening.
