Kinda surprised tbh. It was clearly DOA for gaming, but if anything, I think the Apple Vision Pro demonstrated that there is a potential market for a high end VR headset as a monitor replacement if you could get it small and light enough.

I'm guessing that focusing on just the Quest 3 / 3S chipsets let them focus and optimize everything way more overall though.

No VR headset will ever replace monitors. At the end of the day they require something to be pressed up to your face, with a screen that gets hot after extended use. Ask people to wear paper masks and see how it goes, then compare it to a monitor strapped to your face.
