As soon as the 6 month retention rate came back to bite the Quest 2, the big forcast everyone though would happen in 2022 didn't happen and instead we got the reverse with a big percentage decline for the VR market.

Most the biggest games in VR are still 4-7 years old despite all the releases, hybrid games, and even the few AAA games we have, by now that should tell you something, that the hardcore market can't do anything for VR growth. Many of the people who buy gaming consoles for example, generally buy it for the usual games first, than AAA games second (unless it's something like COD or sports), that's how it's always been early on, and than after the enthusiasts go first, they come in a grow the foundation, then there's games for everyone and people spread around which creates these 10's of million selling game consoles. AAA does not happen until growth and competition are healthy first. We are around 10 years into this think and all the same talking points are being used. To who? Not the people that need to buy the headsets to make the market grow. Just like hybrid didn't work for 3D or Move, or Kinect either.ĭoing the same thing that does not work is not going to suddenly work when there's no change in strategy. People don't do that for hybrid games we've seen this fail in VR before in moving numbers of people to VR adoption from PC or console, it doesn't work Even if they were all quality people aren't going to choose in significant numbers to invest in VR along with the flat version of their game, to play it in VR.

With the market as it is now AAA won't happen because there's no numbers or money, which means less investment which means low interest, it's the same pattern over and over and yet people still want a prioritize focus on AAA games despite the data and what we keep seeing.Īll triple AAA games supporting VR as a throw away mode (which is what would happen if it was in mass), won't do anything. You are thinking about gaming enthusiasts instead of the people that need to be convinced to buy the headsets to LEAD to MORE AAA in the first place. AAA has not been selling headsets since this boombegan in 2015, and somehow you guys still aren't getting it even after looking at this list.
