“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.”

Ok I think know what billiards is unless it is completely different in America so how would you play normally as it wouldn't see your hand on the back of the cue?
Mind you its a pretty weird game to be playing in VR but interesting though.

if oculus do not want to make a rift 2 that is their prerogative etc etc etc, they are the ones with the money to loseMoney to lose? lol - have you not been paying attention to all the money being lost by those who keep trying to focus on just high-end headsets? Do you not remember HTC selling to Google to avoid bankruptcy? Do you not remember people making fun of Facebook-Oculus for not hitting their "1 billion units sold" mark?You have it backwards. Facebook and Oculus are tired of losing money, so they are putting high-end hardware on pause until they start making money.

Why would a rift 2 break anything that is in rift 1, even if they are talking some major new features.
ps. But there is split with DK2 and Rift+xbox users (without touch) or 9xx with 10xx/20xx video card users.

Not a chance - IMHO of course.
We'll see the CV2 being released in 2022 for $600. Remember, the snowdog is right 99.9% of the time B)
