Everything about how Meta / Zuck is approaching this is showing how nervous and anxious he is about all of this. From the panic announcement of the Quest 3 before the Vision Pro unveiling to this statement, which, seems weirdly honest.

Calling out "it was a person sitting on a couch by themselves" when that's the ONLY way you can use your Quest 2, given how bad passthrough works. Given their vision of the future is a bunch of people in different parts of the world all using headsets "to be together" vs a future where you are present in the real world at all times, except you have productivity enhancements available.

Look, I'm in awe of both the Quest and Vision Pro for how technologically advanced all of this tech is, and I know Zuck needs to show "strength", but he knows he's in trouble and needs to rethink most of his product strategy going forward.

I agree. Meta's Quest devices are little more than an Android-based cell phone strapped to your face. Zuck has bet his company on his Metaverse idea and it appears Apple will utterly stomp him if their device performs half as well as they claimed in their WWDC keynote. The only thing Zuck has going for him is price. Some people will settle for Meta's lesser quality at a fraction of the price.
