Apart from Quest being a standalone device, it was just an iteration on the original Rift. And it was another company they bought, and I'd be more inclined to give credits to the Occulus team than to Facebook.

In that it's a VR device, yes. But it's a standalone headset with Inside Out tracking. Many people didn't think this was possible.

A significant amount of FB employees developed this headset. It is Oculus is Facebook now.
