It's not a gaming device. It's two tiny iPads that you can put right up to your eyes and use hand movements to control.

Gaming is a pretty popular activity on the iPad.

$3500 device for $0.99 games seems like a waste.

Hopefully the release of the game porting toolkit is a sign they're thinking of gaming beyond the toddler casinos they have on iOS.

Hmm. Are you aware that mobile gaming revenue is larger than console and PC and that the majority of mobile gaming revenue comes from iOS (iPad and iPhone)?

It's gaming in the same way that a slot machine is "gaming" or how Android is Linux. True in some sense but still not at all in line with the general usage of the word.

Most of my gaming this year has been on my iPad. There are a lot of enjoyable “real” games… Just to give some examples: Total War, Six Ages, Slay the Spire, FM23, Kingdoms Two Crowns, Vampire Survivors, and I’ve played many more.

Not sure what is fake about them.

The mass of the profits do not come from the real games. They come from the addiction mechanic microtransaction games.

People aren’t going to be wearing these on the train or in the back of an all staff meeting playing 3D games.
