VR doesn't have to be a solo affair. It was great fun playing NMS together in VR and there are many multi player games for VR. With Quest 3's full color pass through you can also play AR games together. (theoretically, dunno if they have been made yet)
And yes Zuckerberg is throwing money at VR

No problem for Meta as they make tons advertising to and selling the data of 3 billion monthly active users, 2 billion daily active on Facebook.
Zelda in VR is a dream, hopefully it will come true some day. Sure there was the cardboard experiment with BotW, but Nintendo can do better!

Anyway, Quest wouldn't have challenged the Wii. Simple motion controls for the blue ocean was the winning ticket and it turned out to be a fad. Nintendo failed to keep the audience they gained with the Wii, couldn't top Wii Sports themselves.
Nowadays everyone simply reverts to their smart phone to kill some time which is very much a solo affair. A better comparison than Wii vs Quest, Wii vs Smart phone. Could the Wii phenomenon still happen with everyone addicted to their smart phones... (Also a big reason holding VR back, can't browse/reply to my smart phone with a headset on...)
