How hot is the ? According to HTC's Shen Ye (yes, the brains behind ) tweeted Monday that more than 15,000 units of the virtual reality system were sold in less than 10 minutes on Day 1 of preorders. That's in the neighborhood of 25 Vives sold every second.
And if you've gotten to go through a Vive Demo — it , and — you understand the excitement. It's simply the most immersive VR experience you can get.
Woah, more than 15k units in less than 10min

The only bad news here? If you shelled out $799 (or more, outside the U.S.) for a Vive, you still have to wait until April for delivery.
