> VR headset at $299

Wasn't Facebook losing money on each headset sold, though?

The same is done for consoles with the expectation being they'll recoup their losses through software sales. The problem is that you need to offer a compelling experience first, which Meta has failed to deliver on.

It’s $399 for the same headset now with the price increase, and it’s still the better overall deal.
