Pre-announcing something? Days before an expected Apple announcement in the same market? Someone is getting nervous.

  Sadly, it seems like all announcements get announcements now. I can't even draw conclusions about it, other than that the marketing people have really got their hooks in.

    They don’t appear to have said anything other than it’s coming and better than the Meta Quest 2 (duh). I hate the trend of pre-announcements too. It’s one of the things I like about Apple (though the rumor mill does it for them). Even worse is the trend of announcing announcements. It’s been in politics for a while (“Today candidate Smith announced he will announce he’s running for President on the 12th.”), but we’re starting to see it with announcements for when details will be given about upcoming games, which is basically the same thing.

      > though the rumor mill does it for them Ironically the same thing happened to Meta (doubly ironically from Mark Gurman) the other day: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-05-28/meta-quest-3-real-life-hands-on-how-it-compares-to-apple-mixed-reality-headset-li7h3suy https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-05-28/meta-q...
