I've been a developing with leap for a while now and have been waiting for something like this to come out for me to justify buying an oculus.
Anyone know if Oculus or Leap developers are making any decent profit these days?
- endergen 12y agoOculus has sold like 100K headsets at most. They raised 75M in funding then got bought for $2B. Definitely not profitable if you consider money invested to profit made. Another metric might be burn rate to income. 100000 units x $350 = $35M, so maybe to this point they haven't spend that $35M. Something feels off about this. Oh right, cost of devices. So it's burn rate to profit. 100000 units x $50 = $5M. They may have spent less than $5M so far, but I'd be surprised.
- seanflyon 12y agoI think "Oculus or Leap developers" was referring to developers making software that uses Oculus or Leap, not the companies producing the hardware. I also assume that the answer must be no (for now) since the install base is still quite small.
