Apple Vision Pro failed to sell out on launch day

"Competing AR and VR headsets have never enjoyed widespread popularity"

Why do you feel the need to hyperbolically lie? 🤷 Meta's Quest 2 sold a similar number of units as the Xbox Series consoles for most of its lifespan, only starting to slip behind them this past year. So unless major game consoles aren't "widespread popular" this take is absolutely nonsense garbage. There are literally over 25 million Quest 2's out there... -_- Sure, they're aren't "smartphone or laptop popular" but almost nothing is!

The mixed reality future is with something like the Xreal but price it $99-$199. Simple light and works with almost every device.

It is frustrating to see companies thinking that a $3500 bulky headset is the solution. Complete missed opportunity to just make something that plugs into your phone and has simple cameras to interact with.

Are you kidding me, people all around the world can barely put food on the table, pay reoccurring bills, buy or rent a house and you write "surprisingly, the Apple Vision Pro didn't sell out"!
Are you living in a different world or dimension ... unbelievable what a BS and for Apple to put a price tag of this magnitude on another Pro item - I can only say "look for a change into the real world"

What a joke

So, a $200 million dollar prelaunch event that sold out within hours (further shipping pushed towards March) is considered a failure?

Trying to make spin fit facts that don't fit the spin?? Don't try so hard.

Clickbait article; it's only been pre order day. Launch day is feb 2nd, so to say they did not "sell out" on launch day is false. We haven't yet seen and this article shouldn't have been written until feb 3rd.

Somebody is butt hurt.

Lol stock sold out in several hours and preorders are to March already instead of Feb 2

Not true, only shipping has sold out, that can be manipulated.  You can still pick up in stores within 2 days of launch, and that's only because they have half hour appointments.

This article is entirely wrong. A few hours after pre order opening the ship date for all models slipped to March. I know because I woke up late and didn't get launch day shipping

Did you try store pickup?

Man, I'd love to sell half a billion dollars worth of anything and still be called a failure. Failing and laughing all the way to the bank!

I don't think Apple intended to sell so many of these. To me it seems this is just a developer unit to see what apps and uses they come up with, test the technology and use that as a base to develop a consumer focused unit. With advancements in tech, the next model will be half the weight and price making it another Apple success.
