>It will most likely flop because it has no reliable input.

This reads like the critiques just after the iPhone was announced that it will flop because it didn’t have a physical keyboard…

What does it even mean, "no reliable input"?

Are they talking about input devices? Not only the headset doesn't need one for basic operations, but it's also compatible with keyboards, mice/trackpads and game controllers. What's missing?

I mean precision superhuman input like mouse or dual analog sticks.

I can't for the life of me see myself using a headset with a mouse, but who knows.

That said you cannot depend on not guaranteed inputs because the market goes down from 250.000 to like 1 for each input device (unless you want to debug all controllers with the headset). You need volume. ONLY Quest 2 has volume and as things are going now it's the only one that will for eternity.

Can we afford 10 million Vision Pro ($35 billion).

I'm just waiting for Quest 2 to get linux... that's inevitable if VR is supposed to have any future.

I'm never touching a closed system like iOS or Android.
