Apple Vision Pro is a sales flop, production is slashed, and an update ain’t coming next year.
Can we all stop pretending that VR has any big demand beyond gaming? Because beyond the novelty factor, that’s the one good use for VR.
The problem with the Vision Pro is it isn’t a gaming device. Even if it were, gamers aren’t going to pay $3500 for something that doesn’t play their Steam library.
