By the end of this week, we'll have shipped over 16,000 DK2s worldwide.

To those still waiting for your kits to arrive, thank you for your continued patience. We’re doing what we can to get your DK2 to you as quickly as possible.

To those who have already received their kits, we hope you’re enjoying experimenting, building, and creating new VR experiences. A special thank you for everyone’s help testing the latest SDK. We know it’s still rough around the edges, and we’re squashing bugs as quickly as we can. Watch for an update to the SDK in the near future.

Thanks again!

Ordered mine 29th March.

It arrived this lunchtime 🙂 Can't wait to get it set up but the baby is keeping me busy at the moment 😞


Babies can survive several days without food. That's what the fat is for.

*chill descends*

Just saying.

I am guessing the answer is probably "no", but do we know how many units were sold in April?


Ok, for you again 🙂 At 1. of July we had 45'000 Units ordered - with over the half of all orders up until then within the first 3 days. We covered the first 3 days in roughly 2.5 - 3 batches (roughly because some regions have been in advance).

This leaves 100 days to the 1. of july where the rest 22'500 orders were made - which will be a rough 225 orders a day in average.

I do realize that the order average was higher end of march than end of april or beginning of june, but the fact that we covered march as a whole already leads me to believe that with roughly 5k units a batch we will cover a LARGE portion of april in the coming batch.

(dont forget chinese resellers and russian dev's + enthusiast with their cancelled orders - those are not few)

Yes - these are all estimates - no one knows for sure 🙂 Lets talk about it again next week 😉

And: Those 2 guys i quoted will get theirs shipped in this batch 🙂

Well, there are a few holes in there. especially after batch n 6 the batch nr 7 should be at 27. august and batch nr 8. at sept. 3rd. And then september 10th is missing too. Overall the estimation seems good enough, but from batch nr 6 on you can put every batch 1 week earlier.

:oops: Haha thanks man, we will be turning your hair grey at this rate 🙂 Fingers crossed you are right, as I have a week off next week. I can either explore the hills of Aberdeenshire, or the virtual worlds of the Rift. Neither are that bad (except maybe Dreadhalls. And "Don't let go". Nope. Not going there. Nopely)

Thanks again :mrgreen:
