Not cheap enough considering the competition are light-years ahead in terms of brand recognition.

They've lost $15b already, it's shocking that they're trying to break even on hardware instead of subsidizing adoption.

Nobody is really competing with Meta in the unwired VR space.

Yes. Like those sailors who truly thought the Atlantic Ocean terminated in a sheer cliff before hitting Asia.

Who are you talking about?? Not a single brand is as synonymous with VR as Meta & Oculus Quest. In fact, whenever I speak with any non tech focused people about VR they automatically assume I'm talking about the Quest.
