If your Playstation management, Xbox Management, and to some dergree albeit smaller cuirrently Microsoft Windows management, deffinately if your Meta Management this is a nuclear bomb...... Gabe just causally walked up to your table unzipped and slapped your companies layoffs on the table....and did it with no pre fanfare...just a "oh by the way".
The most hilarious part is the VR (FRAME) it looks to blow the quest out of the water granted at a higher price point (though that also has some advantages; less annoying kids in lobbies) Understand how many thousands of employees work for META? they've invested what 17 BILLION???????? And here comes a company with like 350 employees? and I dunno how much they spent but it wasn't half of what Meta has spent and their about to eat their lunch in VR wars. Quest 3 better invent a 6G dongle asap, and learn a better system then virtual desktop to connect to PC games or they are toast.
If you have a gaming PC the MACHINE will not impress you (I mean it's the equiv of maybe a RTX 3060 mobile maybe but because propreitary tweaks for steam OS maybe a 30% boost? but it's about to let console people in at a great entry price to joining the PC Gameing Master Race(estimates 400 for 512mb, and 600-700 for 2TB and controller bundle) Huge bonus to escape Windows it's bloatware, and spyware, and tell copilot to sod off. Could be a console killer for sure when you consider 5-10 dollar steam sale prices vs $60 games for PS5 and Xbox. Then of course there's the fact that being at it's heart a PC, unlike consoles you should be able to mod, emulate (SWITCH, PS4, Xbox x etc), plunder and pirate your scurvy little hearts out..... and some people might actually use it for apps....it's Linux ARCH without installation headaches at it's heart, and proton built in to run windows exe's......so video editing, cloud apps, taxes etc...all not a problem.
Also interested to see price on controller hopefully this one works better then the first steam controller.... pads for mouse/analog support means pretty much any PC game ever made is playable console style.
Will be awhile for it to sink in what just happened, but if PS5 was celebrating winning over Xbox lately they just got a massive reality check.
