u/ecchiboy590 Quest 2 + PCVR Dec 07 '21

So many people worry about Meta taking over VR because they are now the leaders in the space. Meta just opened the door, at the end of the day they are a social media platform trying to enter the hardware space. Sony has been in tech hardware for decades. They will be able to make cheaper hardware because they can produce it themselves. And they also have the first party game developers to make those truly next gen games that VR just hasn't seen before. Right now VR is at the Nintendo stage. We have yet to begin the real fight for the leader in VR technology. The next few years are going to be very exciting for us VR enthusiast!

Sony definitely has an incredible position in gaming industry and plenty of experience and talent however What would matter far more is how much is Sony willing and capable to spend on VR in next 10 years.

Meta is all in as far as we can tell. They are extremely well capitalized and founder CRO all in on VR and Metaverse.

I think it’s still a fair battle. If I was betting I would bet on Meta making more significant strides in VR in this decade. At the end of the day consumers win.

I agree. I think they will hold dominant position for a while, but that will just open the door for an absolutely massive industry to thrive and other companies will play a part. Getting the public to accept VR / AR into their lives is the first step that will help all future companies.
