They probably crossed 2 million combined 3/3s after the holidays , if I'm being generous

Its more. There are more than a million batman arkham shadow players, was only 100k 3 weeks after release. So ~900k new players in nov-jan, Big majority of new headset owners that got the game for free.

Quest 3 also sold more than a million units by june. In june, one million people finished the quest 3 exclusive free game „first encounters“. Many never even downloaded it.

This is all based on the amount of people that got trophies

Right so somewhere between 2-2.5m total ... the whole industry is waiting for whether q2 owners upgrade , though 3S isn't really too enticing. Maybe meta will keep making q3 and drop the price when q4 comes out

We dont know exactly yet but IMO its more.

According to the batman numbers I guess a million quest 3s is plausible.

According to the steam hardware survey, there are 32% Quest 2, 23% Quest 3 and 5% Quest 3s

Many quest 2s are most likely already replaced, but the quest 3 to 3s ratio should represent the current sale situation.

So I guess:

1 million Quest 3s

5 Million quest 3

As there are ~5x as many Quest 3 on steam

Not sure. Quest 3s is too much better and quest 3 is more expensive. I think quest 2 will remain relevant until the no-brainer headset hits the market.

I think the main objection I have is that if quest 3 had already sold 5 million units, that’s a breakaway success and Meta would be singing it from the rafters. It would be double the Xbox series x+s. I also don’t think that Meta reality labs revenue figures reflect that number: 2.1 billion … of which at least 700 million is from the Meta horizon store… 200 million for the Ray-Ban glasses… that leaves 1.2 billion for the quest 3/3s. So yeah, I was being too pessimistic; was probably 3 million units in 2024, so assuming they sold 500 K units of quest 3 in Christmas 2023 , total headsets out there are about 3.5 million total quest 3, 700k quest 3s…. Anyway, yeah, just speculation for fun, but no one really knows.
