...and Quest 2 users can breathe a sigh of relief.
I see a lot of people saying on Twitter that they were "burned" by buying Quest 1 before Quest 2 came out. I've been saying all along, that Quest 1 launched with a dated Snapdragon 835 SoC that was in the Galaxy S8 2 years earlier. (Thinking that XR1 must have been the target, but something went wrong) Meanwhile the XR2 in the Quest 2 was state of the art at launch, and specifically designed for AR/VR headsets. I personally believe that if Quest offered an upgraded headset right now, they'd still use the XR2. I just don't think they need to.
It's kind of a shame that there will be games that aren't compatible with Quest 1 only 2.5 years after launch, but what's also interesting, is we haven't even seen a development cycle broken from that original hardware yet.
