Metaverse was right direction with poor execution. Also, it was early... and is still early (if tried again). The world is not there yet for such a thing.

I'm less confident of you it was even directionally correct. And I'm not really a Meta or Zuck critic in general (the rest of the biz is doing great and Metaverse didn't hurt too much).

That's just another way of saying that Meta failed to deliver a product that matters to the world today

  • The Quest literally outsold the Xbox despite being a brand new "gaming console". Very difficult to call this a failure if you understand technology.

      BlackBerry phones also outsold the XBox (and the Quest), and one doesn't need to understand technology to call it a failure.
