Looks like it is going to be more AR than VR, and they aren't looking at games at all based on the demos?

Also I imagined the form factor would be different to be honest. IMO if it's gonna be AR, something like Google Glass or those North glasses (that Amazon killed) would have been much nicer. But I guess it is also OK as it is since it's meant to always be tethered to your machine.

A bit disappointed so far, mainly because I can't justify it with the price. But Apple always surprises so I guess I'll wait until the first few apps/games come out.

Maybe it’s not powerful enough to run AAA games yet so didn’t want to push that aspect.

It’s supposed to have 100 games available at launch. That said, it uses an M2 chip, so it should be powerful enough. I think game titles weren’t announced because there’s still at least 8 months left before launch. No need to spill the beans yet on everything.

Do you think the M2 chip is powerful enough to run games at the same time as the other stuff? I wonder if the processing needed to manage the sensors and cameras etc has enough spare to run a game.
Having said that, I think games are inevitable, especially with the announcement of the porting tool.

I would assume all that stuff is handled by the R1-chip.
