Unlike Facebook, Sony is a hardware company that basically makes everything. If Sony wants to spit out the best VR headset they can just call up their display division, camera division, sensors division, design division and put into a single device the bleeding edge and expertise of each one of them. Facebook on the other hand is left to toy with less stellar and more commercial offerings and does not have the history of hardware manufacturing experience to offer something exceptional.

>Facebook on the other hand is left to toy with less stellar and more commercial offerings I'm not sure what your point is when the PS VR2's optics are not as good as Facebook's. The PS VR2 while OLED suffers from mura and brightness issues. The amount of mura is inconsistent and can be pretty bad on some headsets. Since the panels can not get bright enough Sony is leaving the displays on longer which trades off increased brightness for more motion blur. The display is also using a pentile subpixel arrangement which is not as good as compared to a RGB stripe one. The peak pixels per degree of the optics is less than all competing devices on the market and is releasing with Fresnel optics in 2023. The PS VR2 doesn't stand out as being bleeding edge to me, unless by bleeding edge you mean the technology isn't mature enough to be ready yet to meet consumer exceptions. It just looks to be marketed as a better and updated version of the PS VR headset. No other headset is competing in the segment of the market that is powered by consoles.

  Are you comparing it to the quest pro? I haven't tried the vr2, but everybody I've seen that tried it said it was better than the index, and much better than the quest 2.

    I was comparing it to the quest 2. >said it was better than the index, and much better than the quest 2. The Quest 2's optics are much better than the index, both in PPD and in that there is less god rays. There are likely more factors than the optics being considered. Or the OLED black levels are being over valued. How much a person likes the optics is pretty subjective so people are fine to prefer whatever they want.
