In the end, I still believe in the old predictions of Unity CEO John Riccitiello: Look at this graph shown by Mr. Riccitiello in 2017: the purple line is the one of the analysts, while the white one is the one forecasted by him. We won’t see a true disruptive headset probably until 2022-2023.

VR in 2022-2023 will definitely enter the mainstream market , and I wonder if it will just be because of Quest or there will be some other devices.
