I think it was $1000 too expensive to take off. It’s also too heavy, they should drop the front screen and ruthlessly save weight.
Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps.
Whether it’s pleasant to have any screens that close to your eyes - or ever will be - is maybe the bigger question for VR.

Disagree on this. Going back as far as VisiCalc, it's about a device making space for a killer app, and that killer app selling devices. Apple has torched so much developer good-will that even a lower price wouldn't make the space for a killer app.
When was the last time a new, mobile-first killer app came out?
