- michaelt 6y agoPresumably what hyko means is: VR is much more accessible than it was 15 years ago; but VR isn't exactly common, even among the sort of dedicated PC gamers who take part in the Steam hardware survey, and it's doubtful Facebook's average user has a beefier PC than Steam's average user. So it's difficult to imagine a future where VR becomes a bigger part of Facebook's business than Facebook/IG/Whatsapp. I don't imagine I'm going to be visiting grandpa in the metaverse to look at family photos any time soon.
- neartheplain 6y agoFacebook has sold multiple millions of Quests, and are on track to sell a lot more. Anecdotally, lots of non-technical people in my life have jumped on it. Even my older, non-technical parents have enjoyed repeated games of VR mini-golf. https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-rec-room-2-3m-oculus-quest-2-sold/ https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-rec-room-2-3m-oculus-quest...

- neartheplain 6y agoThe estimate is based on Rec Room’s metric of unique Quest user downloads, and as such is likely very accurate. Based on their data, the absolute floor of Quest units sold is well over 1M. https://mobile.twitter.com/ShawnRecRoom/status/1357839404459556865 https://mobile.twitter.com/ShawnRecRoom/status/1357839404459...
- flukus 6y agoA few million really isn't much when you're trying to create an attractive platform and break the chicken and egg problem of no software -> no users -> no software. The WiiU for instance is widely considered to be a flop and never garnered much developer support, it sold 13 million units.
