Genuine question: What makes the Oculus a compelling consumer product?

Availability of fun games you can play, no need for external PC, no complex environment setup, and the sticker price of $300 vs. $1500.

Content, price, and experience. It's fun to talk about SoC's and pixel count, but at the end of the day those don't matter as much as we like to say that they do. You can have the most amazing hardware in the world, but if it's hard to get content made for said hardware, and it costs too much, and it's too difficult to use... then it will fail.

Facebook is doing the boring work that people don't like to talk about in tech forums, and that's why they're able to make a compelling consumer product.

The only other VR company that seems to get this is Sony, and they're married to a 6-8 year product cycle.

Accessible price, no gaming PC needed, no external hardware setup required for tracking.
