You don’t make money targeting those without money to spend.

By that logic, Tesla shouldn’t be the top selling car, why would you buy them instead of a 25k Corolla? Many are willing to pay a premium for a best-in class-experience, which is what this headset is.

There’s a lot, lot of disposable income in the world, but not held by the supermajority.




That kinda misses the question. It might very well be the best in class headset (at that price it kinda needs to be). The question was: okay, the hardware is great, but what is need-to-have app?

Other headsets highlighted gaming, metaverse, industrial/medical applications,....


Car prices like Tesla are a no brainer because the market was already here.

With iphones you suddenly had a multipurpose device for relative little.

With this, we know the market and it's not strong by any means
