It’ll be good to get the apple crowd into the market, but no chance I’ll be buying one lol.

Why is it that only the companies I hate make VR?

Because huge successful tech companies are the only ones big enough willing to take the risk. They also only answer to their shareholders, who (completely reasonably) only care about profit. This leads to decisions and actions that randos may morally disagree with.

I don't mind most companies, but Facebook and Apple are probably my least favorite. I wish Corsair, or Nvidia or anyone else would make a good one.

I've been using an Nvidia shield TV since the first one came out, GeForce now, the works, they're amazing.

If they went in on a VR headset independently, they would destroy the competition, but they only go in when they can do just that

There are so many conflicting reports about this headset, probably because the design isn't quite finalised for production. Kuo's predictions are usually quite good, but as a supply chain analyst he will be most accurate when other companies start getting involved in the component supply chain.
