Yesterday HTC put its Vive virtual reality headset up for pre-order after one year of prototypes and demonstrations. So how did it do? Pretty well, apparently.
Shen Ye, who works on VR at HTC, says that more than 15,000 HTC Vive units were pre-ordered in less than 10 minutes. It’s not clear exactly how many Vives have been pre-ordered in total so far, but as of this writing, new pre-orders are slated to ship in May, one month after the first Vives start going out.
