    Is this the virtual boy of Apple? A product that never really made no sense to anybody and was never really supported?

      I was hoping they’d get the price down to something sane. It looks like it could be a cool tool for CAD. Of course there won’t be any input available from a non-Apple computer so I still wouldn’t want one.

        I desperately want a virtual desktop environment for plain ass computing. Give me infinite windows for my spreadsheet and IDE and that’s all I need!

            I’ve heard the quest 3 is awesome and does almost everything the Vision does. Not sure I can justify the price to myself yet.

              i am using a quest 2 for productivity and ebooks but the resolution is so low that my desktops need to be 1280x720 or I can’t read them. it will be nice to upgrade when i get the chance.

                I’ve heard the resolution is good enough to watch movies on too. Not sure if that is true, but that would be a selling point for me.

            Without a Meta account tho? I’ve got hard blockers on price or shenanigans (or both) for every headset I know of.

          No.

          At 770,000 sold, it is Nintendo’s lowest-selling standalone console and the only one to have less than one million units sold, seconded by the Wii U’s 13.6 million units.

          The Wii U was seen as a complete and utter sales flop. The Wii U outsold the VirtualBoy 18:1.
