> The original Oculus Quest is already really good, and was constantly sold out

I accidentally bought one until I realized the mistake and bought a rift S a day after that. Want to buy it? It is as good as new.

Thought about selling it on ebay but got a bad conscience to sell it to some kid, even for a good price.

Jokes aside I think not needing to connect a PC has to be the future, but I would expect the device to be able to run a conventional OS. Currently I think it will stay a dream however.

Otherwise VR devices have amazing capabilities already. A few more pixels would be good, but you will quickly need a lot of processing power.

Why, given the opposite has proven true in the mobile space?

I wish they did, but consumers clearly do not value this.
