Cause No one wants to pay this much for a VR headset that doesn't even run any games. Except for the usual fanboys that would buy everything from the fruit company.
It doesn't run games? What is it actually expected to be used for then, for the average consumer? The only things Ive really seen VR used for thus far are games or game-like social apps, and some commercial purposes like certain kinds of training. Since this looks like it's been sold to individual consumers then, what are they expecting the use case to be?
Netflix, video calls and looking at old pictures is the impression I got.
Except ironically Netflix has announced they will not make an app for the Vision Pro
I doubt they'd need to. No vendor will put much effort in until it enables a value-add for tens of millions (at a minimum). As long as the device can virtualize a standard 2D monitor in 3D space, you can watch anything that can be displayed on a 2D monitor — same as how you could sit in a cinema audience using google cardboard for the last decade.
