At the recent earnings conference, HTC told the outside world that every Vive helmet was profitable. The media reported that Vive had sold 140,000 units, and in fact the sales volume was much larger.
Recently, the HTC smartphone business has not developed smoothly, and the company's financial difficulties have arisen. HTC hopes to rely on VR to turn around and resume growth. In the third quarter earnings meeting, HTC said that Vive helmet sales in the consumer and corporate markets are growing.
Chia-Lin Chang, president of HTC's smartphone networking device, responded to an analyst's question and said: "I don't know where the data for 140,000 units came from. Wang Xuehong once talked about data problems, I can tell you how she said it. Obviously, Vive sells more than 140,000 units, and the number is much larger. I can't tell you the exact number, I just hope that you don't quote the above numbers."
It’s a bit embarrassing: HTC claims that sales are larger than the numbers that appear in the report, and the company is reluctant to disclose specific figures. Zhang Jialin explained: "From the perspective of HTC, we also want to know the sales data of competitors. Others also want to know the numbers of HTC. Because of this, I can't disclose the specific figures because it can protect the interests of HTC in the long run. ,shareholder."
Previously SteamSpy published a data that used bundled Vive games to hint at the installed capacity of HTC Vive, but this statistical method is not scientific and HTC has corrected it. Since the launch of Vive, the TIlt Brush has been installed on the helmet. The installation of this software may reflect the sales of the helmet. The current number of owners of TIlt Brush implies that the Vive installed capacity is about 143,000 units, but this number may not include the Vive Enterprise Edition sales, and some sales may be excluded, unless the Vive helmets in all sales regions are bundled with TIlt Brush. .
Zhang Jialin said at the earnings conference: "When I last held the earnings meeting, I said that we are very satisfied with the sales of Vive. Now I can tell you that we are still very satisfied with the sales in the previous quarter. I hope the Christmas shopping season There will still be good sales, please note that it is hope, not anticipation." Zhang Jialin believes that the current VR industry is in the era of staking, he said: "I don't know if this description is correct or not." Zhang Jialin believes that HTC's VR business has just begun, which is the beginning of the era of rapid expansion.
At the meeting, Zhang Jialin once again confirmed an interesting news: every Vive is profitable. Vive sells for as much as $800, and profit seems to be taken for granted. Previously, Oculus had publicly stated that the Rift price of $600 was just balanced, and the remarks of the two companies seemed to be somewhat contradictory. The components and requirements of the two helmets are similar. If you add a $200 Touch controller, the price is almost the same.
It is speculated that HTC's operational efficiency may be higher, that is, the production and sales of Vive is more efficient. HTC manufactures Vive helmets by itself, and Oculus does not. There is also a possibility that the product was not profitable at the beginning, but as the necessary processes improved, the product finally reached a profit point. If the two companies define the cost the same, Oculus may no longer sell the product at the cost price, or never sell it at the cost price.
For consumers, the problem still exists. What is the profit? The $800 is already quite high. Considering that VR products are still in the early stages of development, this price is still very high. There is no doubt that VR must become cheaper. Can be popularized.
Investors also want to know the price trend of Vive. HTC is not willing to talk about details. Zhang Jialin just said: "We think we have a good channel and can reduce the price of consumer products in the future. This is a long-term for HTC. Business."
The category introduction of Solar Light can be elaborated from multiple dimensions. The following is a comprehensive category introduction:
Solar Light, taken literally, refers to the light produced by solar energy, i.e., sunlight or daylight. However, in the commercial and technical fields, the category of Solar Light may more broadly cover solar related lighting equipment, inspection equipment, and various products that use solar energy for light conversion and applications.
Solar Light products usually have the following technical characteristics:
Environmental protection and energy saving: The use of renewable energy - solar energy to work, reduce dependence on traditional energy and environmental pollution.
Intelligent control: Some products have intelligent control function, which can automatically adjust the working state according to the lighting intensity, time and other conditions.
High efficiency and stability: The use of advanced conversion technology and materials to improve energy conversion efficiency and product stability.
Portable and easy to use: Some portable solar equipment such as flashlights, lamps and other small design, easy to carry and use.
With the global attention to renewable energy and the continuous progress of Solar energy technology, the market prospect of Solar Light is very broad. Especially in the home, commercial, industrial and other fields of application will continue to expand, to contribute to energy saving and sustainable development. At the same time, with the continuous innovation of technology and the continuous upgrading of products, Solar Light products will be more intelligent, efficient and convenient to meet the growing needs of people.
