quest2 owner here and like many people am very ready for an upgrade and i think this year they screwed up. I was surprised to see pico release neo 4 for so cheap $420 euro and imo what they did is smart. They created a non pro model without face and eye tracking for cheap. And i like many dont care about face tracking and much rather spend less on a headset without it.
FB on the other hand seem to be only releasing a pro model with face tracking for what seems to be $1500. They should have created also a cheaper consumer model without face tracking which i and many would buy in a heartbeat. Consumer priced gaming focused headset is where most of the market is. Instead just this pro model coming out that is very expensive and out of most peoples budget. People have to wait for quest 3 which god knows when will come out and Now pico will be ahead of the game releasing a headset with much better specs than the quest2 and for the same price.
Will i buy the pico? prob not since its a chinese owned and is lacking on software side. But man fb screwed up for not releasing now also a next gen consumer priced headset
