Because its not that much to make. This is a for profit price. They arent chasing a userbase.

Man, $599. That's more than I want to pay, to be honest. Looks like I'm waiting on this.

Looks like that other thread nailed it and people have no idea how much this shit would have cost. Price seems accurate, it's what I expected. But it's just a white page for me 
People expecting VR to be this big thing right out of the gate are deluded.

Page finally loaded. $680 after tax and shipping, ouch. Whelp, I did say I'm in for any price!
$600 is a lot for a supposedly subsidised device with a basic camera for tracking. Vive could be really expensive - two lighthouses, two motion tracking controllers, camera in the headset, HTC more likely to want some profit margin than facebook do - could be $700-750 easily.
Also has me a little wary about PSVR. Even assuming Sony do a base model without camera or controller (for those PS4 owners that already have those), it could still easily be $399-499 as they also have to contend with the breakout box having additional processing (and therefore cost)
