Thought I would link discussion here for full disclosure, seems good natured and the sentiment is something I personally can agree with: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/46phrt/htc_vive_wikipedia_page/
Seems like it has only attracted constructive edits so far, hopefully the trend will continue.

In the current version of the article it is claimed that "As of Janurary 2017 VIVE sales have continued to rise expontentially with worldwide sales reaching approximately 500,000 outselling its competitor the Occulus Rift positioning VIVE as a global leader within the high end VR segment." The source is an article from technologyreview.com ( https://www.technologyreview.com/s/603208/behind-the-numbers-of-virtual-realitys-sluggish-debut/) where it cites research firm Canalys for the estimate.
I find it extremely hard to believe that the Vive went from 140k as of November 23 2016 to 500k in a span of a month. Furthermore I don't think an estimate from a research firm should be used as an actual sales figure. 71.192.145.59 ( talk) 17:29, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

The article claims "VIVE 2 will feature smaller more efficient lighthouses, new controllers, specialized display technology and a smaller and lighter wireless headset." but the source is an interview with Valve about tech they are working on. Valve is not tied to HTC, there's no source for whether HTC will replace their wands, make new V2 lighthouses, or even make a new Vive. Valve's tech can be adopted by any other VR hardware developer like LG who are coming out with a new SteamVR HMD. Dantman ( talk) 16:31, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
@ Hakken and ViperSnake151: Starting a discussion for the recent edits in the article. I'd support removal of this section. It's not typical for good Wikipedia articles to include a longish list of awards; I think it goes against WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:PEACOCK (besides the obvious WP:EL). There are just too many to be useful for readers. If there are any particularly noteworthy awards, those should be covered in prose text. -- intgr [talk] 16:03, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm trying to rewrite parts of this article, but I seem to be running into a bit of a stumbling block regarding the Vive's specs, given how tightly the device is integrated with SteamVR. For example, this reference [1] was used in the article, but I really can't tell at all if it refers to what the Vive is capable of, or just the capability of the SteamVR software. For example, this reference says that SteamVR can handle 1000Hz IMU tracking, but does it follow that the Vive itself tracks at that rate? Given that SteamVR is a royalty free standard that is already being applied to a whole slew of Windows MR headsets that probably run at a whole load of different specs, I question whether or not these SteamVR data can be applied to the Vive itself (Which is a shame, since HTC's documentation of the Vive's specs seems to be... really bad). Maybe SteamVR deserves a page of its own, but then the Vive's page would probably have to be stripped down even further, right? (I'm pretty new to editing, I don't really have a grasp on the guidelines for page creation) PapaMichael ( talk) 09:53, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that this page starts out being about VIVE as a brand but then quickly turns into an overview of the first-generation headset. It's evident from the specs presented on the right and the brief mentions of other product lines that this page was originally written about the first-generation headset, with other updates added as afterthoughts. I would like to ask for the community's help in reorganizing this page, and this is my suggested approach:
1. Update the introduction to be focused on just the VIVE brand.
2. Merge "Development" and "History."
3. Take out "Hardware" and the first-generation specs on the right, and make these a separate page about just the first-generation VIVE.
4. Under "Models," add a brief section for the first-generation VIVE, and create individual pages for all of the other products.
5. Merge relevant text from "Adoption" into the combined "History" and "Development" section.
This is generally how other tech brands are organized on Wikipedia - the brand page is an overview that includes the history and lists of products, but the products themselves have individual pages. (See Oculus and Xbox.)
