I don't get how VR isn't raging; you would think there are millions of VR Index headsets out there since its been in the top 5 for months?

Pretty sure Valve artificially props up the Index for exposure.

What do mean.

Does anything about “artificially props up” make any sense to you, is it some great conspiracy?

Are you saying it didn’t sell enough units to make it on the list?
You know the list is based on money and not units moved.
Or are you saying it came in at 3rd place but they put it at 2nd because ... reasons.

I'm just saying that I think it's highly unlikely the Index is getting that position purely based on organic sales, even at $1k. My guess is that Valve gives special consideration for ranking hardware (since only Valve sells hardware) to prop it up in the charts.

It's not a conspiracy, it's what most companies do. Google routinely props up paid search results, it's their business model.
