Goes on sale anywhere in the world to end-users, not developers.
At the time of creation of market, it was assumed that the orders will be in-person only. If that's the case, no problems.
If that turnss out not to be the case, and that users can purchase the product online as well, then it would count if orders are possible via the apple website. Note that these must not be "pre-orders" but actual orders of the product for it to count.

@firstuserhere Can only consider it a sale when the product gets delivered. Even if Apple charges your credit card (perhaps when it ships) it will not record the sale until it transfers possession to the buyer.
@SirCryptomind And I'm assuming US is the place it goes on sale first. I think we should be good resolving this early. I'll do that in a few hours if there are no objections.
Tim Cook just announced it will go on Sale Feb 2nd

He goes on, “The device is already shipping in small quantities to warehouses across the US before distribution to Apple retail stores, with the company believing it’ll have enough supply stateside by the end of January for a launch by February.”
Apple Vision Pro Release Date: To Be Confirmed Any Minute Now, Insider Claims
@Fatih I remember, vaguely, some statement from Apple that customers will only be able to buy it in-person from the stores. Is that no longer the case? (i.e. they're exclusively available in the stores, for adjustment of the headband and to ensure proper fitting)
@firstuserhere Oh i wasnt aware of that. But i guess this is confirmation that we will only consider that option. The possibility of owning a vision pro during January?
@Panfilo I guess if you will receive them within January it would still count. But i understand apple will not do that anyway
Yep. i don't think Apple is doing that, they want to do in person sales. The risk with counting online orders is that Apple may not ship to anyone before February, causing controversy over interpretation of a "sale". Hence, easier to not count it beforehand. Plus it's not like it's happening anyway

here’s what Tim Cook said 2 months ago:
I think might be online order with in-store pickup. So I think you’re saying you’ll resolve based on the pickup date, not the order date.
@deagol Hm, I was not aware of that. If that indeed is the case, then the most right thing to do seems to include online orders too. The description does say
Goes on sale anywhere in the world to end-users
and the most common-sense interpretation of that is that if one can order the product, then it should qualify.
@firstuserhere well I said “I think” they’d do online with pickup, but Cook was less precise. Just my guess.
