> 20M lifetime is not mass market
I agree, that's why I said "what mass market there is". Because the whole thing is completely speculative that there can be mass market here ever, and that applies as much to Apple as Meta. None of the so far demonstrated devices are really appropriate for that.
I don't know why you think Meta is "capping" themselves to gaming market or why you think that market tops out at 10M units. That is where they started, but clearly that's not their whole vision (or why did they bother making the Quest Pro?).

Quick question for Boz: so are you saying the Quest Pro was line of business proof of concept to give cover for PMF to downstream the tech into Quest 3?
