Is that not pretty much the story of Oculus so far? There are 2 million oculus quest 2 devices out there now and they're getting to the point where they have a monopoly in VR

Didn't Oculus "succeed" already before FB bought it and invested huge amounts of extra money?

They have only sold millions of devices since being part of FB. They were still really niche in 2014.
