- carbonguy 5y agoI doubt it's THAT high a multiple - in 2020 they earned just over $32 per user [1] and an Oculus Quest 2 retails for $299; one assumes the manufacturing cost is lower, meaning the multiple is likely 9x or less. Of course, the essence of your point is true: Facebook doesn't make as much per year per user on average as a headset costs.

- Tenoke 5y agoThis is revenue and not profit and I've seen a lot of articles claiming that they are almost definitely selling headsets at a cost already[0]. Point stands either way for giving them free and selling at a cost is just a lesser version of that at any rate. 0. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pcgamer.com/amp/oculus-will-sell-you-a-quest-2-headset-that-doesnt-need-facebook-for-an-extra-dollar500/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pcgamer.com/amp/oculus-will...,
