The Chinese variant of the Oculus Go, sold by Xiaomi as the ‘Mi VR Standalone’, appears to be seeing strong launch demand, with the headset quickly selling out, in some cases within just minutes.
XR intelligence firm Greenlight Insights estimates that 30,000 Mi VR Standalone headsets were sold in the headsets first day, and apparently constrained by stock availability; the headset sold out completely at the official Xiaomi site in just three minutes, Greenlight notes, and the 32GB version sold out at JD.com, one of China’s largest online retailers, in the first few hours of sale.
