Interesting news considering it wasn't very long ago that HTC executives explained why a Vive price cut was unnecessary. Those reasons seem to still apply today, giving rise to insight that perhaps HTC feels the pressure from the aggressive Oculus pricing in order to remain viable (and alive) in the high-end VR Market.

In a stunning twist of fate... HTC is relying on the Smart Phone business to help them recover from the financial drain caused by the Vive.
I think that Vive owners who previously "didn't care what HTC's Mobile division is doing" had better start caring, and stat!
