I'm assuming the numbers must include retail stores purchasing the product to sell to their customers too? Or are these direct to consumer numbers only?

I think many scalpers are in there too.

It requires a face scan from your iPhone or MacBook to order one.

I imagine that's going to make scalping harder?

Edit: not that they can't, but it wasn't bots buying it all.

You can buy them separately - and you will have to with a scalped (or secondhand) headset.
