Meta Quest 3's Market Reception: Not Selling as well as Quest 2 But Its VR Pass-Through Is Second Only to Apple Vision Pro

This IDC Market Perspective assesses the performance of Meta's Quest 3 VR headset in 4Q23 and puts it in the context of the broader VR and AR market by highlighting its hardware and software positioning in 2024 relative to Quest 2, PlayStation VR2 (PS VR2), and Apple Vision Pro (AVP)."Meta Quest 3 hit the ground running in late 2023 and was generally well received. Meta's Reality Labs is positioned to dominate VR in 2024, but it's also now bracketed by Apple Vision Pro at the high end of the market and by PS VR2 from a tethered AAA VR gaming standpoint." - Lewis Ward, research director, Gaming, eSports, and VR/AR at IDC
