Hopefully this helps VR get out of the niche market. But, I'm staying as far away from Meta and Facebook as possible. If I get into VR, I'd rather get a Valve Index or PSVR2.
That's some exponential growth. VR may be here to stay after all.
I think the stand-alone aspect of this has contributed to the success...
Wow I'm surprised cuz I thought VR wasn't growing as much. That's pretty impressive considering how it released at the same time with the next-gen consoles. This sold just as much as the Xbox Series.
High-end VR has been stuck in quite a lul for a while with not many games coming out and seemingly just waiting on the arrival of psvr2 . The quest 2 is sorta like another market as with mobile and console gaming. That's why Digital Foundry has been hailing psvr2 as the return of high end vr.
Amazing Unit, the price and features is market leading. Best VR experience you could get.
Impressive. I hope they can get ahold of an nVidia chip next.
Congratulations. This is a positive thing for VR.
Nice! I hope the market continues to expand. Had no idea that VR could reach such numbers.
Oh wow so it's selling nearly as well as Xbox Series. Impressive. Had no idea that many people were buying VR sets.
