The group, which calls itself XR Research Institute, claims that the launch is set for this year, and estimates a production run of 400,000 to 600,000 units per year.

For comparison, that's roughly the production scale of Apple Vision Pro. Meanwhile, 2.5 million people have unlocked the achievement for completing the Quest 3 and Quest 3S introductory mixed reality experience after two years, and Quest 2 sold north of 20 million units. As another point of comparison, estimates peg Steam Deck at around 5 million units after almost four years.

Technically, this is the source:

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ufib2bT-IM1WodZWKcmHzg

Bradley did say that he knows the person but he isn't the source himself: https://xcancel.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1976068955510132975#m

He also posted about some data mined strings referring to Deckard dv1 and dv2 which is presumably verifiable by someone: https://xcancel.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1976141425801822419#m

You're right to be sceptical since all of this is a mix of rumours, data mining and speculation. I think it's fair to say, in this case, Bradley is more the data mining and speculation bit, rather than the rumour bit.
