I don't see it that way, but rather as the best of both worlds, even if the Index is better. I want it to tether to a PC (or console) as the Quest can, but have hardware onboard so I can take it off by itself and watch Netflix on it. I could never figure out why everything wasn't like the Quest from the start. The Oculus Link and hand tracking (good for video controls without having to use a controller), are what's pushing me over the edge to buy one. In my opinion it's the first VR headset compelling enough to actually purchase. I can recommend it to everyone whether they have a gaming PC or not, and frankly at $400+ for these headsets, people should get a Snapdragon attached for basic gaming and video.
