The incredible popularity of Oculus Quest 2: the new model of VR-headset pre-ordered five times more than the original

In a recent financial report Facebook Mark Zuckerberg said that the new VR headset Oculus Quest 2 was done five times more pre-orders than last year’s original model.

“I was very impressed and excited about the progress our teams have made on this matter,” Zuckerberg said. – I think the new Quest 2 product is outstanding. I like him. And I am really proud of the work that we have done with him. “

The advanced self-contained headset has a starting price of $ 299… That’s $ 100 less than the previous model. In addition to that, the Oculus Quest was difficult to find on sale throughout the year. This shouldn’t happen with the Oculus Quest 2 – Facebook is clearly doing everything it can to make the new device popular and affordable.
