Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)


I'd hope most pre-preorders have been upgraded to preorders by now, so you can probably ignore those in any calculations.

According to his slightly newer news post, he needs up to 950 orders to be able to manufacture a first batch of 1000, but he's also able to order a batch of 500, and he could do that with the money he has already (and that's been true for almost the last 180 sales at least). To be able to pay back his investors and start to make actual profit, he needs to sell 3000, but to my eyes at least, almost 700 preorders is a good start when almost nothing about the performance and no real demonstrations of the cool stuff you can do with one has been shown yet.

Edit: Oh course, ED does not have a big red 'order' button he can just hit as soon as preorders hit 950. He needs some time for the prototypes to arrive with the devs and bed in with them, to make sure many of those first batch niggles can be solved with the current hardware.

Exactly.

The 22nd 24 hours of pre-orders is now up.

We got :

350 Pre-orders the first 24 hours (350)
79 Pre-orders in the second 24 hours. (429)
49 Pre-orders in the third 24 hours (478) (Some double up Pre-orders were removed though)
29 Pre-orders in the fourth 24 hours (507)
18 Pre-orders in the fifth 24 hours (525)
26 Pre-orders in the sixth 24 hours (551)
12 Pre-orders in the seventh 24 hours (563)
10 Pre-orders in the eight 24 hours (573)
17 Pre-orders in the ninth 24 hours (590)
11 Pre-orders in the tenth 24 hours (601)
9 Pre-orders in the eleventh 24 hours (610) - Note , the number would have been higher, however a number of duplicate orders were removed.
11 Pre-orders in the 12th 24 hours (621)
8 Pre-orders in the 13th 24 hours (629)
16 Pre-orders in the 14th 24 hours (645)
8 Pre-orders in the 15th 24 hours (653) - Adjusted
12 Pre-orders in the 16th 24 hours (665)
10 Pre-orders in the 17th 24 hours (675)
7 Pre-orders in the 18th 24 hours (682)
5 Pre-orders in the 19th 24 hours (687)
8 Pre-orders in the 20th 24 hours (695)
3 Pre-orders in the 21st 24 hours (698)
5 Pre-orders in the 22nd 24 hours (703)

Daily average over the last 7 days was 7.14 Pre-orders a day


Note: Daily figures also include converted Pre Pre-orders. As such , actual new pre-orders would be a little less than quoted figures.
 
Well, according to ED's last post the next big milestone is somewhere between 844 and 950 preorders (depending on failure rate), but yeah, 750 is just 'something to aim for' not a target with anything actually depending on it.

Daily average over the last 7 days was 5.86 Pre-orders a day

Clearly it's time for a press release. Something along the lines of:
"DragonBox is proud to announce that they have received enough pre-orders for their Pyra handheld personal gaming computer to guarantee production. Parts orders with significant lead times are being submitted. It's happening - and more are welcome to join in.

The Pyra is a ..."

But - it needs to emphasize that the Pyra is successfully funded and going into production.

So - to my understanding that is true. Is it?

I thought that had already been tried, though you're probably right. Some videos showing the capabilities of the Pyra would probably be helpful.

Well if the target is 950 pre-orders, at the current rate , then we are looking at mid July some time.

712 pre-orders + 57 pre - preorders = 769 . 950 - 769 = 181. 181 / 3.86(current daily preorder average) = 47 days
