There's Never Been a Better Time to Own a Quest 2

With loads of new games on the horizon and a recent price cut, we think there's never been a better time to own a Quest 2.

You mean the price cut that isn't really a price cut. They started out with PREDATORY PRICING to kill competition. Then raised the price to stop the losses they were incurring for that low-ball price. Then lowered the price after jettisoning thousands of employees jobs and more competition on the market? Great time. Lol. The price cut is the same price they started out with.

Not only that, but most games announced are also coming to PC and PS VR 2 that will look and play much better. Yeah. And where's GTA? Lol

I mean when their headset is half as much as the next one, that's sort of on the other companies to do something about it. Valve didn't budge with their Index, they kept their higher price, and plenty of people purchased one (myself included).

Point is, they lowered it knowing it would kill competition so that they could control the market. Because other stand alone headsets were dropping around $500-700 during the $299 price. They couldn't afford the PREDATORY PRICING Facebook did.

Valve doesn't make stand alone headsets. Valve and Sony didn't jettison thousands of jobs in the gaming sector. Do you see Sony laying off employees in the VR portion of the company? No. Facebook did and lowered the price again. But the stock markets are still the same as they were.

It's why PS VR 2 isn't being sold at $299 because Sony would incur losses like Facebook did. They want to make a profit like they did with PSVR. Or at least break even and make money on the software.

I can clearly see a difference. There's still no GTA anywhere. I know I didn't imagine that either. And when Quest 3 shows up, Quest 2 will either be left behind like Quest 1. Or, hold back development of bigger games as games will need to work on both headsets. PSVR did that to PS4 Pro. And Series S does that to Series X. That's actually not good if we want games to advance in VR catering to the lowest common denominator.

it’s a pretty bad time to own a quest 2..

PSVR2 is the future of VR gaming. I would start with there not a janky Quest set up.

[Neonridr]

unfortunately until PSVR2 can do wireless, there will always be pros to the Quest.

But it’s not. It’s simply another VR device with better specs than its previous offering. It’s not doing anything new, revolutionary, nor enticing people to jump on the VR bandwagon regardless of Sony’s marketing hype.

When I am right in the future, I will need an apology.
