Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a call with investors that “on Christmas Day, people bought almost $5 million of content in the Oculus Store.”
We were hoping Facebook might finally break its silence and reveal how many Oculus Quests sold during its debut year but the $5 million figure is still an interesting number. In June 2019, a Facebook vice president said Oculus Quest sold $5 million worth of content over its two week launch period.
“Sales are stronger than we expected,” Zuckerberg also said of the Oculus Quest.
In another section of the call Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Wehner said, while referencing the company’s “Other” revenue, which includes Facebook’s VR efforts, “year over year growth was driven by sales of Oculus Quest.”
The Oculus Quest standalone headset has been backordered from some places as far as March. The company finished 2019 with nearly 45,000 employees and continues to invest considerably in a wide range of technologies fundamental to advances in VR and AR.
This news is breaking, updates to come.
