Yeah, good stuff is coming, but I think PSVR2 is going more against PC VR headsets, given they're both requiring some sort of "base" machine to process everything - I see its competitors more in Vive, Pimax, Varjo and similar headsets.

OQ2, and upcoming OQ3 and OQ Pro, are standalone products and I believe will have more direct competition coming from other directions, especially if they keep targeting that $300 (or up to $400) price for the whole package.

I wonder how they can do that though and make something competitive. Steamdeck starts at $399 and that's just a simple single screen. Looking at Benchmarks for OQ2, it's far below a GTX 1060 in capabilities. https://uploadvr.com/oculus-quest-2-benchmarks/ Of course you can also use it with a PC.

I think it is matter of "it's good enough" approach. OQ2's hadrware is good enough. It's SoC is good enough for decent visuals, it's tracking is good enough (better than PSVR actually form my experience) and it's resolution and FoV are good enough. Add to that $300 price tag and it becomes "a great buy". So, if Nintendo, for example, decided to jump into VR, they have real world example of how it's done with "good enough" approach, which matches their usual approach to making hardware.
