- filoleg 5y ago> False. Meta bought the best selling headset at the peak of VR fever. You might want to double-check your claims before making such definitive statements. As far as I am aware, the acquisition happened in early 2014, and Oculus Quest was released in 2019, 5 years later. Oculus Quest outsold all earlier headsets, and then Oculus Quest 2 (released a year later) outsold that. And by a giant margin. What Oculus had at the time of the acquisition (Rift headset) was imo inferior to HTC Vive. It was the first consumer-available legit VR headset that gained some good adoption, but Vive outsold it 2-to-1.
