Expecting the same, this is going to be a MASSIVE flop. VR is not for the masses until the goggles go away.

Its not gonna flop, for the same reason that Apple desktops dont flop. Anyone educated in basic modern technology can easily see that for the price, you can build a custom desktop that blows any Mac one out the water, but people still buy them because of 2 things: styling and ecosystem.

Vision has both of those. People will conveniently ignore all the downsides of it, like they do with current Apple products.

I think this product will be a slow burn. They are getting developers engaged now and subsequent generations will bring broader appeal while the software will get more refined and apps will expand in availability. I don’t think it will be a flop it will just take a while to get going. And they must absolutely know this given the current pricing.
