VR and AR still don't seem to have what it takes go hit mainstream.

I think they'll sell more, but just be an outlier like 3D was, never really gaining enough traction.

Some of the tech is good now, but it's just too much of a faff, with a high cost too.

People will probably mention the Quest 2, but I don't see it making much difference (The Quest is actually the one which would out me of most personally).

Regarding VR, from the little Facebook said it looks like the Quest 2 is selling quite well. Zuckerberg said that Facebook is working to get to 10M units sold, at which point he believes that the software ecosystem will take off. This means on one hand that they're not at 10M yet, and it's probably a way off, but also that it's not a pipe dream.

Not sure how we'll see the benefits of an 8K TV virtually. Roll on CES 2022.

BTW, it was kind of funny when I noticed the EVENTS box, with mostly 2019 events plus CES 2020.
