The sad thing is that the Quest has other benefits that, to me, make it worth more than the Index. This video covers some of the magic that's possible with the Quest [0]. Before the Quest was in people's hands I was constantly getting shot down when I was saying:

1. Inside-out tracking is the future.

2. Detaching from the desktop and playing on the go is a huge feature (tetherless).

3. Hand tracking will re-imagine HCI

Everyone I know, some of whom are very big Valve fans, would tell me that "fidelity is more important" and "outside-in is fundamentally better and will always be better". That's simply not true as evidenced by the new headset from Facebook.

Multiple studios have completely switched to developing for the Quest 2 as the standard.
