Vision Pro is going to be an interesting watch. I doubt it is bad gear, but it is hard to really understand the market Apple is chasing. In particular, the consumer VR market is dominated by gamers to an absurd degree. Trying to pull casuals into it feels way too strained. Similarly, professional use doesn't seem to be a strong value add, either. Will be interesting to see where things land.

Vision Pro is to meta quest 3 what Starbucks is to local coffee shops.

Meaning, quest 3 is amazing, and Vision Pro is the best thing to happen to AR.

I hope steam doesn’t pull out. Zuck can preach about openness but the platform is still antagonistic to pc users.

I'm still rather bullish against AR. The passthrough of the PSVR2 is nice, to get your controllers in hand and room setup. Otherwise, I don't see the value add, just yet. Heck, the best games make use of the headphones so well that I feel like I'm already in another room.
