what went wrong
>>103295415black people dont have 3 and a half grand
>>103295415I don't think anything really went wrong. If you were expecting the Vision to sell like hotcakes to the buying public you were a little nuts. It's got two target audiences: developers and enterprise. I've read in various places that it did pretty well with those audiences.
>>103295422they can steal it just like they do with iphones and other stuff

>>103295415High cost for a developer unit, no extremely good exclusive content such as a VR movie or video game worth spending that much on for an expensive headset (even if it is a complete spatial computing unit that ultimately has it's own computer all built in like a standalone device) and still a largely incomplete product with very limited support across the board.Content wise even a listening experience of a live concert (recorded or streamed with suitable equipment) has potential.It is as though they lost a few lessons from their 1st gen M1 Mac Mini developer unit (in 2019 from many internal channels) before the M1 came out in 2020 and the well known practice of gaming consoles losing money on the game unit itself but gaining profit on the video content and odd accessories.Worst of all it is not upgradable in any way which for this unit should be essential as a first gen product and also a shame as the two internal monitors for the goggles are probably the best of any known VR or Augmented Reality headset on the market.I suspect a lesser type of googles that are paired to a Mac of any variety would be a better start to get the profitable content made and finally brought into existence (VR games, video or perhaps a live person to person services unrelated to games or video movies such as Playstation Home of old for social media as a example). The potential is there quite literally but the platform potential hasn't been explored yet.
>>103295631you, with the power of image search at your fingertips, are making this claim, to the rest of us who also have image search at our fingertips. This is how I know you are wrong, stupid and lying.
They didn't channel their inner ebussy>what's the usecase?
>>103295415read the text in picrel and im sure you'll figure it out
>>103295415Same thing that always happens to solutions without a problem.
>going 96mph in a 25mph school zone
>>103295415not prohibitively expensive enough
>>103295415It wasn't actually vrIt was just an expensive google cardboard tier piece of shit people got remorse over in less than a week.itoddlers deserve what they tolerate.
>>103295415Simple. They didn't include virtual stuff, you had to buy more Apple crap.So amazingly dipshit it's incredible.Here's what they should have done:>buy these goggles>includes free virtual apple watch!>includes free virtual Macbook Pro, with each purchase of Keyboard (cloud-based, bla bla limits)>includes free virtual iPadthen people would be virtually trying out your stuff (even when trying their friend's igoggles out)Literally tricking people into visualize Apple in their lives, and they didn't do it.Impressive, gotta say.

>>103297506I'm glad we're thinking of the children.

>>103297525Pretty much thinking if you're stupid you shouldn't reproduce.
>>103295415>Can't play industry standard regular ass SBS/LR180 video>Requires its own proprietary re-encode that plays back on nothing else>Instantly alienated 50% of VR users: VR coomersSimple. And no, it's not the same reason VHS won, the porn went where the people were. Anyone gooning in VR already has a device that can play SBS LR180 video back. Oculus, Windows MR, Pico, weird shitty Japanese headsets made exclusively for porn, Google Cardboard, whatever. No studio is going to bother reencoding their shit for $3500 trinket owners.

>>103296383>High cost for a developer unitThis but also Apple refuses to play ball with ease of development. Their success in the mobile market made them overconfident and think they could play "our way or the highway" in other areas, such as desktop gaming (which VR gaming is basically an extension of).Turns out "our way or the highway" only works when you have a big enough market that people can't just flip you off and ignore you. With macs being a tiny portion of the total desktop gaming market, and with Apple refusing to make even a token effort towards helping cross-platform development* barely any developers care to bother.And I don't just mean stuff like supporting Vulkan natively, I mean stuff like how on Windows or Linux if you request a borderless desktop window, you get a borderless desktop window, but on macOS if you request a borderless desktop window, you get...a borderless window with the taskbar and the dock overlaid on it cutting off portions of the screen. They're a headache to develop for. If they had as big of a market share as iOS does for mobile, developers would put up with the headache, but they don't.
