If that's the comparison then we should compare total software sales. It's not even close. The Wii has probably sold near two orders of magnitude more games. We're talking about the Nintendo Wii almost two decades after its release. I highly doubt anyone will be talking about the Quest 2 in 2040.
- hnlmorg 4y agoYou’re just making an assumptions now. You might be right but at this stage your point is still just speculation. Also my point wasn’t that the Quest 2 will be as seminal as the Wii. It was that what people on HN might consider a gimmick with little longevity isn’t always what regular people buying these things think. So it might not be the Quest 2 that lasts. Or it might be numerous different brands of headsets, sharing relatively equal market shares, but you can bet plenty of average consumers are enjoying VR.
