Given some of my experiences with the Oculus Quest, I'm curious if we'll see more manufacturers head down this route. The biggest thing is that it's just so much easier to convince the average person to invest in the device. I was at a family event not too long ago, and I could tell there was a bit of hesitation when they asked me how much it cost... but also a bit of relief when they realized that was an "all-in price". They didn't have to worry about a computer or a game console, and they could even do what I was just doing... take it to a friend's house and show it off. The only negative thing for me is that since I have multiple VR headsets, I don't have as many games for the Quest. People also seemed to enjoy the Space Pirate Trainer demo, but I only have the full game on Steam.
The only worry that I have about the Quest is still the hardware. Since the Quest released on an already out-of-date platform, how long will it be until we get an upgraded solution? What would that mean for existing Quest owners? I've heard enough musings about some titles (e.g. Moss) not working that well on the Quest, and that could suggest that some of the more intensive games may require upgraded hardware to play on an all-in-one solution.
