    I don’t really think it was. It’s something compelling to a small niche of Valve fans, but it isn’t something to draw a casual audience. And the hardware has to be sufficient and wasn’t close.

    They’re partnering with Disney. If they have a Star Wars ship and an Encanto house (or whatever recent one) for people to explore, in actual high quality (because the main limitation for VR so far is that the hardware wasn’t close to good enough for anyone who’s not an enthusiast), plus support for floating your MacBook screen and phone/tablet apps, that’s going to move a lot of units. If they do it with Apple’s huge marketing behind it, it’s going to move more.

    Not this version. The second cheaper version after they’ve been hearing about it from early adopters and can walk into an Apple Store and demo it, though. Apple is very good at getting people to see their stuff how they do.
