Selling 20 million Quest 2 headsets is a pretty good outcome for the so-called Metaverse fiasco.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoI think they spent 36 billion on metaverse stuff at last count, so no, not really.
- Aeolun 3y agoHow did literally nothing but Quest come out of that then?
- detaro 3y agoThey would've sold exactly as many of those if they didn't jump full-speed into the Metaverse rabbit hole. Even the Quest 2 release predates that direction shift.
- renonce 3y agoSpending $100b on net losses is too much for such an outcome.
- satvikpendem 3y agoThose headsets are subsidized, do you really believe that level of hardware costs less than the unit price of 300 dollars? Meta is trying to gain market share via selling at a loss and perhaps making money through games or simply getting everyone inside the "metaverse" to then show them ads.
