Counterpoint: the HTC First (aka the Facebook Phone) was >$1 USD less than a month after it debuted, and still was a gigantic flop. Facebook Portal has sold ~1 million units. Oculus has sold ~8 million units or so (all numbers based on quick googling, might be wrong). So people reject Facebook hardware all the time, and they don't actually have that much in the way of hits in the HW space.
- FormerBandmate 5y agoIt was $1 on a two-year contract. It was also a bad phone. That really doesn’t say much
- Apocryphon 5y agoIt says that they’re lacking in the hardware department.
- perryizgr8 5y agoThe phone is a bad example. It was a shitty phone. There was absolutely no advantage to using it. On the other hand, oculus is state of the art in virtual reality. I don't know if any other hardware or ecosystem as well developed as theirs is.
