This can happen sooner than 2025, but I think it will wait until XR has hundreds-of-thousands to millions of ready users. I worked at Microsoft from 2008-2012.

Or better, I can imagine who can be the names and they are all the big monoliths: Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon , etc… Only companies of this size could afford selling a good headset under cost and at the same time attract enough developers to publish VR games on their own new stores.
