Seeing how quickly the pre-orders pushed shipments into May and seeing the order number progression, how many Rifts do you think they actually have ready to ship out at this moment? How many do you think sold yesterday to push shipments into May?
I am guessing they had 10,000 ready and will need to start manufacturing the rest ASAP.
That would mean they got somewhere around 30,000 orders yesterday. Probably well over 30,000 as I am guessing the 30,000 mark pushed them into May.
What do you guys think?

I'd go with little or none at all actually ready at this point in time. Possibly a few hundred for demo purposes etc. The earliest shipping date is late March. That's three months away, so plenty of time to get building. The manufacturing processes will all be set up now, so now that they have a definite amount of pre-orders, they have a good idea how many to build in the initial run...
Does it say June 1st, or does it have the numbers 1 and 6 in it? because yesterday was Jan 6th, which can be written as 1/6/2016, 6/1/2016, or 2016/6/1 depending on your country.
If you go to the oculus store it currently says:
Expected Ship Date: June 2016.
My confirmation email and the account page (which has lost my dk1 and dk2 orders) have no dates of any kind. But the store page as I bought it said april. (I started ordering 2 minutes in, when the store came back online, took another 41 minutes of retrying to finally get it to accept my visa. Or was it paypal? I'm not even sure how I paid now, I kept alternating until one of them worked)
But see the attached image (from reddit). If each number represents 1 pre-order, we could conclude that we have more than 1.3 million already. To be honest, I don't think that's the case, and if anyone else has an insight about it, let us know :D.

I'm hoping this chart isn't too accurate, or at least is erring on the cautious side.
My order is in the 27 range, and the order confirmation screen said March...

Haha...that's hilarious!
I've never understood why Americans use mm/dd/yyyy. This is a classic example of why these things should be standardised to prevent confusion of extremely important matters.
Just kidding Americans...we love you all really!
But seriously....dd/mm/yyyy is more logical. :twisted:
I always say it's January 6th 2016, not the 6th of January 2016 when talking about the date. Do you say the 6th of January or the 6th day of January in the year of our lord 2016? lol (Canadian here) 🙂
A lot of people order it to make money. Oculus should take a look to this, cause I think its ilegal.
Man I really dislike that people do this, but it should be limited because Oculus limited orders to one per person. I bet we will see many fraudulent orders go away.
Hopefully the Babba will rain spam hell fire onto them and they will lose money on the Ebay sale.

German here. We just say "6. Januar." The dot is similar to the "th". Day/Month/Year. Clear order. We like it straigt. 😄
Excuse my bad english. I speak to you through the google translator. 😛
