Because people want dirt cheap VR that works perfectly and if they can't have it this year then the entire platform is dead on arrival. Just stupidity. No patience for a platform that needs probably a decade of maturity before it's truly accessible to the mainstream.
It was very clear it would be the priciest. Throw in a 980Ti required to drive it and they've got a product they know full well is targeting a small audience. People can't comprehend that businesses aren't always catering to them/mass audience.
Pretty much. HTC warned plenty of times prior to this that "hey, this will be expensive and the price will prevent mass adoption, but we'll target the enthusiasts, because we think this is a premium product", but people didn't want to listen.
