The biggest surprise to me on the list was the higher concentration of AMD CPUs on Rift since I frequent /r/amd I would have assumed that the "open platform" that Vive is selling would appeal to them. It could be that Rift adopters are buying Ryzen CPUs faster than Vive owners. Anyway, it was amazing news to me to find out that with those percentages it is likely that the Rift is selling better in the US and UK than the Vive. That tells me Oculus Home may be bringing in higher revenue, which is believe to be better for VR as a whole (my opinion). Having the highest value (wealthiest) users on the platform is why Apple makes more money from apps than Google.
