    What would be the smartest thing for Microsoft to do right now imo is get into talks with Meta to get official Quest support on the Series. It would help boost Quest sales, allow Xbox to stay competitive in the VR space, all while reducing the costs and risks that are associated with it.

      @@NerfGamingNews was thinking that if Microsoft waits too long to get in on VR, they may miss their chance to get a foothold like they did with Windows Phone. This way they can keep up with VR console games without losing out Sony.

      yeah, though with the undeniable growing interest for VR, and it's inevitability as a "THE" game changer. I would not be surprised if they have repurposed and expanded their HoloLens team. Especially with AR and with apple jumping in , they may take Microsoft HoloLens lunch. They can't be in denial anymore about how big this will be

    It sucks, but it makes sense. Facebook and Sony are the only two companies actively pushing for VR to be mainstream. And while they have seen their own success in one form or another, the fact that the most successful headset of all time (the Quest 2) has only sold 20 million units over its entire lifespan and has serious user retention issues is not good for long-term viability.

    • @NerfGamingNews
      @NerfGamingNews  Рік тому

      Do you think the retention issue is a content issue or something else?

    • @onhold1706
      @onhold1706 Рік тому

      @@NerfGamingNews I would say it's a mix between content issues, general consumer appeal, and the Quest system itself.
      Facebook hasn't been investing nearly as much into its first party studios to produce content for them, and many games previously announced (like San Andreas VR) are still MIA.
      Without a ton of compelling software and Facebook's lack of focus due to their metaverse stunt, the average consumer isn't regularly going back and buying games for it.
      It has a niche community of diehards who'll play all the new games and try out all the new features (myself included), but their attempt at making the Quest 2 the "everything" headset seems to be alienating their original audience. Couple that with the fact that the Quest 2 OS can be super unpolished at times and you have a device that just kind of exists on the market at this point.
      As much as I would like to see Xbox tackle VR as well, I could very easily see them fall into the same trap of focusing too little or too much on their VR side, alienating one or both of said audiences at the same time. Sony definitely had a big problem with that in the early years of the PSVR's lifespan.

    At this point it feels like WE are paying to beta test these products. I'm sure at some point "Ready Player One" will exist but maybe flush out the bugs and kinks before you release it. I'm willing to pay for a clunky product IF it has value. There isn't enough content or functionalities to these products at this point to justify paying $2k and up.
    Focus on software. Develope practical content. Like vr theaters, floor seats to a bball game... etc
    That's when ppl will flock to these products

      Xbox cloud gaming is nice for trying a game out but it still doesn't feel good playing a flat shooter, let alone a VR one which needs 90 or 120 FPS minimum while rendering the game twice (one for each eye). This idea is still a loooong way off.
