Zuckerberg's leaked email on VR strategy (2015)
You can really understand here that Zuckerberg really understands his business. He knew in 2015, that if Facebook didn&#x27;t have a platform it controlled, it would suffer down the line. We are almost a decade out, but what he predicted has come to pass and Apple is now squeezing the juice out of Meta.<p>I don&#x27;t think Zuckerberg is wrong about VR at a certain level. I think VR gaming makes regular gaming obsolete in many ways. But instead of making Oculus the &quot;XBox&quot; of the future, Mark decided that it was the &quot;everything&quot; of the future. A sort of wishful thinking that these headsets would replace the cellphone.<p>The cellphone fits in your pocket, watches fit on your wrist, and earbuds fit in your ears. A VR headset would have to be sunglasses size and even then they&#x27;d still be less ubiquitous than the Apple Watch.<p>The problem is not the vision, but the amount of money being spent. If Oculus had stayed independent, I can guarantee we&#x27;d have better (probably more gaming) oriented content.
