$6 billion valuation / 6,000 units sold = Each Magic Leap headset is worth $1,000,000.

That they scaled in-house manufacturing to accommodate a million units of demand...
...and then sold <10,000

This article, while pretty negative toward @rabovitz missed an opportunity to underscore just how big a deal yesterday’s announcements by @Qualcomm were. That means @magicleap will see a bunch of low-margins competition in the market soon which makes its path even more difficult. https://t.co/0wgYIS3Qo3

Magic Leap early sales are looking way way way below internal projections, reports @alexeheath. The company has been tight-lipped all year long and sluggish sales of their first device seem to be the cause https://t.co/HtUCteCuZc

Magic Leap sells 6000 units in its first six months, instead of the internal original goal of 500,000. This is part of why you should release early and often instead of spending $2.6 billion and waiting nearly a decade to test the market. https://t.co/z1tu9WOmtC

ううむ、Magic Leap Oneが発売後半年で6000台しか出ていないという話ですが、1年以上経った今はどうなんだろう？1年で10万台が目標だったそうですが、そもそもその台数を生産できたのかな。会社が資金調達に苦しんでいる話は事実としても、いくつか疑問の残る記事ですねhttps://t.co/syhkeYbQjs
