I particularly love this slide about AR/VR forecasts vs actual, year after year.

Really a prime example of corporate blindness, always trying to see the new fad as the next big thing... 🙄 🤨

Also very interesting to see the prices of the biggest franchises over time...

Interesting and scary! 😅

@elFlashor What happened in 2021? New hardware released for a much lower price?

@yora I guess? Maybe a new version of the Meta or Oculus? (I don't know much about VR hardware so I cannot say 😅)

@elFlashor I always feel with big budget games that the developers don't need more money to make new gameplay mechanics possible, but instead have to find increasingly more pointless ways to spend the money they are given.
