Going through a few of the websites the only shocking thing that struck me today was the original price of the Oculus rift which comes down to $200, I mean from the pricing of $600 to a straight $200 is really astonishing, there are a few sites where I could legit find the pricing of each of the components used in the Rift and their pricing and how they have drastically increased their prices.
It is a straight increase to about 3 times the original price and with the manufacturers promising that they would keep it really cheap so that it could get to many homes.
However that doesn’t seem to be happening here, you could actually see the breakdown of the cost below:
This information is from the Source IHS Markit and I was really shocked when I saw this, to be honest I know it must have cost them on the R&D front and various other aspect but the difference is a little too much, however, lets wait and see what is the response from the Oculus team!
