According to the latest update on the release of the Oculus Quest 2, the technology is selling very well, despite all the hoopla surrounding the need for a Facebook account to access the device, TechPowerup has informed us. According to TechPowerup, the statistics for Quest 2 look good.

In an interview with Protocol Gaming, Chris Pruett, Facebook's director of content ecosystem at Oculus, seemed very pleased about Quest 2's unprecedented success. He states that Ream is "not really happy" about the fact that sales "may have exceeded our expectations a little bit" as well as that it is selling much faster. And unlike some manufacturers who are faltering in the current technological climate, *cough* Nvidia *cough*, Facebook has managed to keep up with the unbearable demand.

While it's hard to pinpoint exact sales numbers at this point, the fact that 80-90% of recent Rec Room accounts have been created by users just getting into VR tells us something. This indicates a massive spate of people trying out the wonders of VR for the first time. This was further reinforced by the fact that by 7 pm PT on the day of the Oculus 2 launch, there were more Quest 2 users floating around in the Rec Room than there were original Quest users.

Shawn Whiting, Rec Room Inc.'s community director, underscored this by revealing that the Quest 2 launch was 250% larger than that of the previous one. [Pruett said that since the announcement of Oculus Quest 2, the company has been "inundated" with requests from developers. As such, he expects many major developers to quickly jump on titles like Skydance Interactive's "The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners" and Vertical Robot's "Red Matter." Pruett further revealed his goal for the Oculus 2 to become an everyday household device, declaring that it is intended to be "something very reasonable that every home has."

All signs point to a positive future for VR as long as people don't mind Facebook accessing their data (honestly, if you don't like it, "don't buy it," says our Jacob).
