Quest 3 seems like the first high-quality headset for a price that's at least close to what somebody could impulse buy. To me Sony has owned that crown, but only if you already had the $700 system.
The really nice headsets before this required impressive gaming rigs, and the cheaper ones were kinda lame.
It'll be interesting what happens in this space after Apple releases their headset next month. The price keeps it firmly in a particular niche, but maybe in a couple years they can make something a bit more accessible. Seems they aren't going for games, which positions them in a more unique space.
