Based on your comment it's apparent you neither follow the industry closely nor understand it's dynamics. The vast majority of the billions of dollars are being pumped into R&D, not marketing existing legacy devices.

You also seem to be implying in your comment that the orion glasses displayed at connect last year were a last minute pivot, which is a ludicrous statement

The vast majority went into software development, software that's mostly useless in spectacles. How's Horizon Worlds gonna work in spectacles?
No it didn’t. You’re literally just making this up, I worked at RL
And I'll say again, the vast majority went into software. The Quest line can't be more than about 1/4th to 1/3rd of it and other hardware R&D is less than that. That leaves a majority to software.
