“VR is going to keep progressing. So, beyond and shadow of a doubt, at some point we will have a next generation where we add some sort of feature that breaks all of the old stuff and makes it either not work, or makes it seem obsolete. Our goal is not to do that right now. Our goal is to bring as many people into the ecosystem as possible. Bifurcating the ecosystem with a Rift and, say, a Rift 2 […] is not the right thing to do right now.”

I agree! I would have stayed with the OCULUS even with the marginal upgrades with the Rift S the biggest issue I have is what they took away (Mechanical IPD). They basically forced me to go else where - what a stupid move. I will be hard pressed to come back to OCULUS as a result

I think it will splinter the PC-VR community for Oculus, in fact it already has been splintering. The Oculus community that uses the Rift primarily for Oculus experiences and games will likely go with Rift S and stay with Oculus for the foreseeable future.
The smaller Oculus PC-VR community that is more interested in non - Oculus games, primarily flight and racing sim types and likely some space game types, the majority will probably go with another brand this time around. Many of these are the ones that spend some bucks on higher end equipment to include beefy PC's and expensive controllers. They want a good headset to compliment that for these sims they spend the bulk of their gaming time in. This group typically has no problem spending more for a VR headset, but again this is a very small minority. I myself would have no problem spending 800-1,000 USD for a good headset that has more of what I want.

Impressive @snowdog !
Does for OculusVR the GearVR and GO fit into your ticking?
And does for HTC, the Focus and Vive Pro Eye?
Edit:....hey wait a minute, it was last year you said "HTC is going to go bust by the end of the year, defiantly" [paraphrasing] !!!
