All luxury goods are bombing right now. Walmart hitting record numbers.... kinda tells you something about the state of people's finances.

The PS5 is selling like gangbusters, outpacing PS4 sales from what I understand, however VR is a much more niche product.

I think it's because most people already tried out the Quest 2 since it was a bargain. I bought one and forget I even own it most of the time and the same goes for 4/5 of the other people I know with one.

VR is not bad but it nothing about it has really drawn me in at all.

Probably the >$1K US per GPU pricing - can’t move headsets if nobody can afford a capable enough GPU.

Quest headsets work independently. You can also hook them up to a PC but they don't need one.
