Apple will do the same I’m sure after they release their Vision Pro headset. People still aren’t totally sold on VR so there will need to be a race to the bottom before we can start climbing back up to high end headsets.

Apple's headset is a new thing, with a lot more features than VR. We'll have to give it time to really know if it will find a market.

VR's main issue is price I think, because most people don't want to spend a grand on a gaming peripheral system. So the VR market is a niche but seems to be going well from what I can see in the Steam store. I've been playing mostly VR games since I got an Index set, because it's a lot more interesting and fun overall than regular 2D games. The fighting games are good exercise too.

I picked up a used psvr pretty cheap as an intro to see if vr will hold my attention long-term before dropping a few grand on an index and pc to run it, only for the novelty to wear off the next year.. I wouldn’t be able to justify getting a nice setup without this intermediate step.

I know the psvr tracking is very imperfect, and the games are older/less refined, but I’m considering it an entry level model based on the price point ($120 for headset, controllers, camera, and cords/connectors, tho ofc that doesn’t include the console or games). For that, it’s pretty good.
