The Quest Pro will be (very soon) on shelves for customers to purchase. It's a product that exists with an app ecosystem and other users. As far as I can tell, SimulaVR won't have a product ready until at least Q4, and even then I'm sure volume will be low.
Imo the most damning part of this article for SimulaVR is this annotation:
>[6] There are lots of tradeoffs involved in battery life vs. headset weight that we still need to decide on.
The Quest Pro has already made these trade-offs, and exists as a real device with specs that are available, while Simula is still trying to figure out the balance of your device?
It's unfair to compare a released product to something that might be available to consumers sometime in the next year.
- dylan604 4y ago> SimulaVR won't have a product ready until at least Q4 How much closer to Q4 do we have to be for it to qualify as "real soon" in your book? I'm asking as it is Oct 24 with Q4 starting Nov 1. Unless, I'm not business savvy and have my fiscal confused with physical again?
- camdat 4y agoI would forward this question to Simula, since their website still says: "We expect units to ship no earlier than Q4 2022, with priority given to Founders Editions." Given that, as you've said, we're in Q4 and there's no updated information available on their purchase page, I doubt it's going to be any time in the next few weeks.
- kanetw 4y agoNo, absolutely not Q4. We need to update that, but Q1-Q2 23 depending on how things go with suppliers.
