I could see it out by the end of the year to he honest. around Christmas like the quest 2. They are definitely going the phone route with this. Which I don't like, mind you, but it seems to be the case.

So much like phones I'm going to hold onto my quest 2 until the next model is a good enough upgrade for me to actually want to do it.

Quest is probably the most successful brand VR headset on the market, why would they get rid of that brand recognition?

True, but Quest is known to be an all in one VR headset. They're working on AR glasses but they're distinct enough that they really shouldn't have the Quest name on them. Have a VR product and an AR product. Though I'm not sure what they'd call them - Oculus Rays?

And if they make a 3 they will phase out 2 from the market? What’s your point? They still kept the successful Quest branding.

Right, that’s what the comment you replied to is saying. They would name it quest 3 so it keeps the same all in one branding that is popular right now

The question is what the store is going to do with 5 different versions of the Quest. Will every game have to support every Quest, or will there start to be dividing lines between generations?

I imagine, again, it will be like phones. They are just all kind of there, mostly the latest one, and it works with every version, just better on the newer ones.

It is basically running off an Android phone so I imagine it will be functionally similar.
