Anyway, with the end of the life of Quest 2, this cycle finished and a new one started with Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, Google and Samsung announcing their own headset, and other companies chasing them (e.g. Especially Apple and Google, which are the dominant players in the smartphone industry, are both launching headsets this year.
Its userbase is superior to known PCVR headsets like the HTC Vive Pro and Pro 2 and most probably in the next weeks, it will also surpass the Pico 4. This is a pretty surprising result, considering that the PSVR 2 is a device for a console (the PS5) and its adapter for PC was released only a few weeks ago.
This is a period with many tech announcements: we had Meta telling about its Horizon OS, yesterday OpenAI unveiled the new GPT-4o, and today Google will hopefully unveil its Android XR operating system.

You have HTC in China dominating the Chinese market with their headsets.
