If only. Even Meta can't get th Quest 3 down to that price. They had to retool the Quest 2 into the 3s to get below that.

I will likely wait for valve's next effort. I feel at the price points I would want oled.

Also, I still don't see any killer apps in vr. Last one was Half Life Alyx which I already have and completed.

Everyone's use case is different. There may not be many (if any) AAA games coming out with the polish of HL Alyx or Lone Echo, but there's plenty of content keeping me interested enough to buy new VR hardware, as it improves the visuals and performance in existing content.

I'm happy to be able to play modded Skyrim in VR, or FO4 London, or newer games like Demeo Battlemarked. There's so much to play that I don't have time to play it all.

Trouble is i have many games either I have not played that i own and about 40 on my wishlist list i want to play. Not to mention loads i want to replay.

Makes it hard for me to want to pay silly money for a VR headset with only 1 year warranty.

Just not enough time unfortunately :(

If it's $1000 or more then it's just going to remain a niche device.

$800 would be the highest I could see it being a success at, but $600 or $700 would be better.

What Valve considers a success is a lot different than what we might consider a success. Valve consider the Valve Index a success. If the Steam Frame sells around 500K units over it's life time, Valve will probably be happy with that figure. They definitely aren't aiming this as a mass market headset. We might be comparing the Steam Frame with the Quest 3 because it's also a standalone headset, but I think they are aimed at different markets. The Quest 3 is first and foremost a standalone headset. Whereas the Steam Frame is PCVR headset that can do some standalone.
