HTC is starting to sell the Vive through more retailers in US (BestBuy.com, Walmart.com, Jet.com and B&H.), and tying up distributing deals with UK distributor Westcoast Retail for Europe.
On the market for over a year now, Vive senior manager of product management Graham Breen told PCR that after a soft launch, sales are starting to pick up. Theres been uplift in general demand and also uplift in where people can buy it from as well, he said. Initially we started selling on our own website, but now its available across a range of retail stores, whether thats Currys PC World or Game. Its also available at online retailers Overclockers UK and Scan for example. Thats all a response to increased demand weve had from the market its been a really exciting 12 months since we first went live with pre-orders last year.
HTC has subsequently said it has no plans to match these reductions, adding: We dont feel the need to cut the price of Vive, as weve had incredible success, and continue to see great momentum in market.
Interest in VR and Vive continues to grow. Paired with recent news with Apple, Google and Intel, were seeing major retailers and direct-to-consumer companies endorse Vive as the premier VR experience.
