    Considering the $3.5K price, I am surprised they could even sell 100K units per quarter.

    Got to respect the power of their brand, I don’t think any other hardware company would be able to sell 100K units/quarter considering the product (lack of apps, games, content) and its price.

      Exactly my thoughts, I can’t believe the number of sold units is as high as it is.

      Must be the the top 1% wealthy diehards that buy it to put the unopened box into storage with every other Apple product they’ve thought.

        It’s madness, it’s borderline degeneracy to buy into an electronics company brand to such an extent (any brand or corporate entity).

          I agree, and I think with apple in particular that was always the goal.

          Hook people into the brand rather than the product.

    Wow I am so surprised! /s

    If you want a VR headset, there are far cheaper options that can actually play real games.

    If you want a new, novel way to do office work, then uh… this is pointless, as this only encumbers any office work beyond basically reading emails and going to meetings.

    I can only conclude this product was designed by managers and executives for managers and executives.
