This is true, but also these apps tend to be poor quality. I have a Quest 3, and I suspect a lot of the people who are thinking AVP and not Quest 3 haven't liked Meta's pitch. A lot of the metaverse stuff is silly. It was a poor pitch, and it wasn't remotely ready. Beyond that, the Meta Quest 3 doesn't have the best screens, so things like watching video aren't actually very good. The passthrough is comically bad, so any AR stuff is really a no go. The only things the Meta Quest 3 does well is video games and video game fitness experiences. The reason to consider the Quest 3 is almost 100%, "do you want to play VR video games without breaking the bank?" That's it. The Vision Pro is not making that pitch at all, and doesn't even support motion controllers. I don't think there is a lot of cross shopping between the two, and I don't think people looking at the Vision Pro are just Apple enthusiasts. They simply aren't that interested in video games, but are interested in the other experiences Apple is touting.

Hard to say about the passthrough. The MQ3’s passthrough is terrible from an eye chart perspective but the latency and spatial perception are good enough you can throw and catch a ball without any trouble. The Apple Vision has cameras far away from the eye centers to support the front screen so it’s going to have to work harder to reproject images and it may be functionally worse. We’ll have to see.

Do you own a Quest 3? I disagree on a few points here. > Beyond that, the Meta Quest 3 doesn't have the best screens, so things like watching video aren't actually very good. Is it as good as a 4k OLED TV? Obviously no, but it is the by far the best screen watching experience I had away from a TV. So if you want to chill in bed or a travelling for work and spend a lot of times alone in hotels it is by far the best media consumption device. Another point are immersive 3D VR videos which is a completely new dimension and let me tell you there are a few really great things to watch, which you cannot replicate on a TV. > The reason to consider the Quest 3 is almost 100%, "do you want to play VR video games without breaking the bank?" That's it. see above about watching stuff. Another point are social experiences like VR chat, which I would not consider games.

  I do have a Quest 3. I also have two OLED TVs, and no way I'd watch the Quest 3 over that. But I also own a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and I'd much rather watch movies or a TV show on that. I'd also much rather watch on my desktop monitor. The 3D videos are a nice diversion, and I do them from time to time. I almost entirely play video games and workout apps on my Quest 3.
