Meta has reportedly canceled its planned Vision Pro competitor. Making the product affordable enough to ‘sell well’ was seen as a challenge.

I wonder how much actual planning went into this.

Corpos are stupid, greedy pigs - but it should have been obvious from the go there isn't a real market for such expensive hardware yet.

The hardware isn't good enough for that price. Same with software.

And doubley so for Meta because pc gaming is an after-thought to them. Why would I spend multiple thousands of dollars to esentially play nothing but mobile games on a closed ecosystem.

I don't even want to spend $500 to upgrade to the Q3 from the Q2 for those reasons.
