If people want a low end Rift for their low end PC's why don't Ouclus just keep the OG Rift and keep making it cheaper. The price could of been Go price one day. Lots more people would jump on then. OG Rift for low end PC and a new Rift CV2 for high end PC users. Kinda like the Vive and Vive Pro. Though please be better than the Vive Pro.

@Zenbane - It's a downgrade because the current Rift uses outside in tracking, but can that really be classed as a downgrade if inside out tracking will be the future of VR headsets from now on? Some will see it as an upgrade that you don't have to mess about with sensors and that it also makes Rift -S more portable. The only complaint is that is might have some slight blocking behind your head, which software will fix like we have seen with the Samsung odyssey that only has 2 camera's.
The audio isn't a problem because I suspect Oculus will bring out some earphones now some people have complained, but I'll use my gaming ones which are better then the current Rifts audio.
Apart from what I've mentioned above, I can't think of anything else that is a downgrade. I don't even think what I've mentioned above really makes the Rift -S a downgrade though tbh.
Edit: Also, I was replying to someone to better inform them why it's not a great idea for Oculus to make a highend headset that costs more. Just buy a Vive Pro if you want a highend headset that costs more.

Just got back to page 6 and read the M-Wall:) but to make this short - there is till another price point that doesn't break into Vive Pro price point that still would allow some great upgrades while over all giving options to people that want no trade-offs and provide a better experiences over all.

Yes, it's called the Oculus Rift 2, but it's not ready yet. When it is ready it will arrive at a good price and have most of what people want. Until then if you want something highend then buy a Vive Pro, if price doesn't bother you. They've already said they are probably going to offer audio to the Rift -S, by adding some over the ear speakers, so I'm interested to know what more you want?
I also read that Carmack said they would have used Oculus GO screens in the Oculus Quest had Oculus GO come before Oculus Quest, so what else is it you want other than something similar to a Vive Pro?

IDK, maybe the IDP adjustment back and per eye screens vs single display:)? OLED vs LCD - my full 90Hz back and the higher resolution found on the Quest along with my over ear headphones back:)? Hell keep the head strap - offer a hing so I can lift it up to get in and out of VR quickly for the short time I just need to for whatever reason. Boom - a true upgrade vs trade off update. Sure wont be a 2.0 - but at least then it be a 1.5 upgrade vs a <1.5 it is now. I can live with the new tracking design as a trade off - but the other things would is just too much of trade off not to worry about the direction Oculus is going.
I can tell you didn't read the whole post - because I already cover a lot of what you said with a counter argument.
