15.000 HTC Vive units have been pre-ordered

HTC Vive is an extremely popular virtual reality headset, or at least that's what the pre-order figures for this product suggest, HTC announcing that 15.000 units have been ordered by people interested in its purchase.

The information comes from an employee of the HTC, he affirming that 15.000 units of HTC Vive were pre-ordered in just 10 minutes, a sign that people are extremely eager to own such a product, even if it has a selling price of 700 euros in Europe.

Although HTC Vive is more expensive than the Oculus Rift, the device is still currently the most popular virtual reality headset sold by any company at the moment, and its success proves that products of this kind are expected on the market.

Apart from the HTC Vive headset, users who buy this product must also have a powerful computer to be able to run games or simple simulations for virtual reality, so the investment could be more than 700 euros for some users who buy the first units.
