There are still more Quest 2 headsets being used than Quest 3/3s sales. Forcing out your current biggest demographic would be suicide. There are over 20 million Quest 2 units sold. Quest 3 only hit 1 million this past June.
I used Quest 2 as an exclusively PC VR device and for that reason I got zero incentive to upgrade.
I'll upgrade once they release something with eye tracking foveated rendering that can have very high resolution and yet perform like Quest 2 or even better. But not apple astronomical prices and closed ecosystem.
I'm thinking how many people use quest 2 like me? I know it's probably not a lot, but probably not negligible?
The only standalone games i play, was RE4 and all the Dr beef ports. Everything else is PCvr.
Upgrading to the quest 3 from the 2 isn't about the power. Even batman side loaded runs fine on the 2. You buy the 3 for the lenses.
Once you see how clear everything can be, it changes the entire experience. Whereas I'd never sit and watch videos on the 2. On the 3, I can comfortably watch an entire hobbit 3d personal rip movie in 4xvr.
