Oculus Rift (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/oculus-rift) told TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/14/oculus-rift-shares-developer-hardware-sales-data/) that sales of its second-iteration dev kit are at about 25,000, taking the VR unit's total sales to around 85,000. For the dev kit 2.0, that figure accounts for around a month's worth of sales since pre-orders went live on March 19.
The $350 second-generation unit displays in OLED at 960 x 1080 resolution on each eye, and it offers positional head tracking via an external camera. Pre-orders are available now, but the kits aren't expected to ship until July.
If you've spent the last month living under a rock, you probably don't care thatFacebook bought Oculus (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/25/facebook-buys-oculus-vr/) recently for the sum of 2 billion dollars (cue Dr Evil laugh). Even a few weeks on it's still a staggering thing to think about, especially when you consider how the device began its journey (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/28/oculus-rift-from-2-4-million-kickstarter-to-2-billion-sale/) on Kickstarter just two years ago.
