> For Apple to break into the VR games space they'll have to woo both serious gamers and large game studios, both of which seem extremely unlikely given the huge cultural disconnect.
I have no idea if Vision Pro will ultimately be successful, but I'd easily bet that game developers would be willing to come on board. Is there anyone that really disagrees that this is the most impressive piece of consumer VR tech to be released so far? Wouldn't game devs be chomping at the bit to put that technological power to use?
The current generation of VR has been around for a decade now and the large studios have been very anemic towards it so far.
And with Apple, that difficulty is compounded. The company’s greatest success with games has been the casual mobile market, mostly with indie devs and indie studios. Apple and AAA don’t really gel.
