But in the case of the Xbox they knew there'd be an appetite for a gaming console, because gaming consoles had been selling like hot cakes for over 15 years.

VR is a very differently-sized market.

What are you talking about. They sold 100M quest 2s. People like it. Have you tried it? Most naysayers haven’t even tried it.

Do you have a source for that number? Most of the figures I've seen have it around 15M units globally as of this summer.

Indeed, it's an amazing gaming platform. I love Thrill of the Fight and Pro Era!

Published meta revenue numbers don’t add up. Do you have a source for the 100M Quest 2 sold?
