| Soundwave said: In a parallel universe where Quest 3 is a Nintendo product, I think it would be doing considerably better, or at least have a lot more foothold in the mainstream. People would be blown away by Mario Kart and Mario and Zelda and Pokemon and Metroid Prime in VR. Absolutely. Even things like Animal Crossing, you could have the world pop up in front of you like the cutest little diorama come to life and people would absolutely lose their shit. It would be great. In a lot of ways the Quest VR headsets feel more like the natural evolution of the Wii. |
Yeah, Quest 2 was quite successful and could be called the first VR headset that really got into mainstream. If that was Nintendo product, with Mario and all their IPs behind it, it would be logical continuation of Wii and would easily hit much bigger numbers.
I experienced first hand when I introduced Quest to my wife and her sister, neither of them playing video games, how much of that same Wii vibe there is to whole VR appeal for mainstream. But discomfort of current bulky headsets cannot be denied as well for such audience, and I find it to probably be primary reason for VR not taking off more in the mainstream.
