I'll just come out and say it, VR is a neat trick but doesn't solve any problems people have with computers.
Most people have zero interest in wearing screens on their head and cutting themselves off from the outside world.
Further once you've strapped it on and played a couple rounds of beat saber there's not much to do with it.
Consumer VR as currently envisioned is not going going to ever get out of the niche it's in.
I mean, talking specifically of the Quest Pro, it was too expensive with a lot of half baked features at launch. It's main feature being pass through, and that's probably the most complained about thing from reviewers. So this news isn't really surprising. As for VR itself, it may be a niche, but it's still a growing market. A veeerry slowly growing market.
