I don't see where these Quest devices have gone to though, who and where is the market? Because even though I run around the tech circles where people are eager to be early adopters, own multiple tech gadgets, etc. I still don't see a single home with a Quest device. I see multiple Xbox and Playstation devices but no Quest.

How can that be more popular than Xbox? Where are those 20 million devices in use? Do people hide them?

Since the iPhone release i have seen about 10 people with one. Wikipedia says Apple has sold more than 2.2 billion of them. Do people hide them?

Considering the context presented (the sampling of very tech forward people who really enjoy advanced gadgets), then OP's question makes a lot of sense.

Your comparison is a bit weird. I have seen more than 10 iPhones today, and all I did was walk to Starbucks and back.

You live in a place that has many iPhone users

Exactly my initial point: I live in a place where a gadget such as the Quest should be found quite easily, yet I haven't seen one.
