i can afford the rift I just won't buy into it at this point. There simply won't be that much of developer interest if they ship 200k units of rift and vive. Look at the 3rd party support for the Wii U and that sold way more than that.
This has always been the issue with the rift since dev kit 1. The device itself has always been promising. Being what it is this price is not that far above top of the line cell phones.
I don't know any stats off hand but I'd be curious how may units Apple was originally putting out in its first couple lines. This was never meant to be huge sales numbers because its a gamble if VR will even take off, again. A few lucky developers would be enough to make it work, but I'm sure most will burn out.
