Honestly, where in the hell is that money going? That's like space program funding, not "repackage commodity phone parts into a headset" funding.
For reference, Nintendo revenues somewhere around $13-14b.
Meta is losing almost as much per year as Nintendo has in total assets.
Even with acquisitions I can't make the math make any sense here.
I refer back to this very bearish blog post from the acquisition of Oculus predicting that Facebook/Meta would be a poor steward of VR. https://assayviaessay.blogspot.com/2014/03/virtual-spaces-real-data.html https://assayviaessay.blogspot.com/2014/03/virtual-spaces-re...

Meta employees probably cost 5-10x as much on average compared to Nintendo employees. Honestly wouldnt surprise me if the average is above 10x
