HTC最初承诺在2015年底前出货，现在宣布其Vive VR耳机要到明年4月才能向消费者提供。该公司在其博客（目前处于离线状态）上发表声明，试图“澄清有关此次发射的猜测和错误信息”，证实了推迟发射的消息。”我们将在新的一年开始，向开发商提供额外的7000套住房，然后在2016年4月开始商业供应，”声明继续说。在随后的更新中，HTC补充称，4月上市的预购将于2月底开始。

今年春天推出的Vive是一款高端VR耳机，与Valve的SteamVR项目合作打造。宏达电已经修改了一次上市日期。今年8月，该公司表示，年底前将提供数量有限的商用系统，2016年第一季度将有“更大数量”的系统发货——与Oculus Rift的发布窗口相同。它现在说，它的第二代开发工具包，这是今年早些时候运到游戏开发商，将推出在消费电子展；目前还不清楚这将有多接近商业版。

第二代开发工具包将在CES上发布

目前尚不清楚的是，HTC和Valve是否因为还在研发硬件而没有获得“最佳体验”，或者问题是获得了足够的游戏和其他娱乐内容来全面推出。不管怎样，宏达电承诺有更多的机会来演示这款耳机，包括圣丹斯电影节、SXSW、游戏开发者大会和世界移动大会。但我们不知道今年晚些时候到底会有什么东西进入买家的客厅，也不知道要花多少钱——每个主要的VR耳机开发商都拒绝回答这个问题。

宏达电的完整声明如下。

In an effort to clear up speculation and misinformation surrounding the launch of HTC Vive this month, we are excited to give the community an update on the status of HTC Vive. We remain committed to delivering the HTC Vive to a broader group of content creators and partners, and remain focused on delivering the very best experience possible for a c***umer release.

Since announcing the HTC Vive in March of this year we have focused on developing immersive content, refining both hardware design and user experience, and building relati***hips with new partners both inside and outside of the gaming industry. In collaboration with Valve, we have been distributing the HTC Vive Developer Kits to developers and content creators, and are continuing to work with many other innovative companies to create content that spans gaming, entertainment, medical, education and retail. This includes hosting a developer conference in Beijing on December 18th, launching the second generation of the HTC Vive Developer Kit at CES and engaging audiences at key events including The Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, GDC and MWC while expanding our demo tours.

We will be starting the new year by making an additional 7,000 units available to developers, followed by commercial availability in April 2016. We are incredibly excited about the future and look forward to sharing more information as we move forward towards launch.
