"Hit"... Nintendo Switch was a "hit" and so will Switch 2. But that gaming experience isn't for everyone. It's aimed at gamers aged 25 years and younger.

It's really not just for that, for example we have museums offering reenactment experiences with VR headsets, laser game locations with VR arena...
With price lowering over the years, the entertainment industry is on the verge of getting more and more AR/VR/MR attractions and that will introduce more and more people to it

$1,200 VR headset with (assuming) direct PC connection to leverage +$1,000 GPU is for the adults in the room.

though yeah, at that price... thank gosh for Pico and *eugh* Meta who make much more affordable -while still feature packed- HMDs, Pico's FBT tracking kit is really really cool and easy to use, I really hope to see more evolutions like this in the future !

You’ll be waiting until 2035 for specs like that.

There are already higher res headsets out there

If it's actually wireless, will be neat having a new mainstream wireless headset other than Meta. If not, I don't see the point.

It's like when you start wearing wireless headphones at home and realise you can go to the bog to take a dump without taking them off. Life is never the same after that.
