Progression tells us though - Quest will take over both Low and Mid range with a possible hybrid for High end.

but that is not a road-map, that is lilly-pad to lilly-pad. And its hard for marketing and advertising to keep up with that - "There's a Oculus headset for Everyone!!"

I would normally have agreed with the "long -game" approach from MS - they dumped the VR bandwagon after the last involvement with Oculus, and there was some serious animosity that was vented in the WinMR initiative. So seeing them go back would have been a stretch. But things have changed, and management is not entirely happy with the XBONES strategy - especially after the UE5 promotion on the PS5 showing up the deficiencies of the XBONEX. I would not be surprised for a knee jerk if they see the PSVR2 gains traction with the audience. This is near-term, am not really a fan of the long play speculation, as this is always impacted by the restructuring that seems to be constant in all of these operations.
