I think tv usage is a hard comparison as it’s so well integrated into our lives and social fabric. These people are likely either just outfitting their house so it is more like furniture than a toy and they likely know exactly what value it adds for them (movie nights, sports gatherings, etc). Things people place great value on. And, I don’t think they’d see a vr experience as a substitute. Maybe in time they will. Once they get enough exposure to it, most likely by owning it, but that isn’t likely to happen if prices remain high. And there’s still something that’s missing, nobody is coming to your Super Bowl party just because you have an Apple Vision Pro. So it’s only useful if everyone that you’d invite also has a similar technology to have a shared virtual experience. So that further requires the prices to be lower. Beyond that is the question, does anyone actually want those types of experiences to be virtual? Would people just simply prefer that event to be IRL? I think the answer is going to be Yes for a very long time for a majority of folks. It will slowly penetrate the meatspace but will hit a fairly low ceiling at some point.
