100% spot on. If people made decisions purely based on logic, rational thinking, analytics, etc… the world would be a VERY different place. That’s not how the word works. People think and make decisions emotionally. Status gained (or perceived status gained) will have a FAR greater impact on the decisions people make than the tech specs. For most people anyways. The most basic books on the psychology of sales and business teach this stuff. It’s human nature. Zuck is thinking too analytically, like a scientist, and has zero people skills and I genuinely don’t think he has any social awareness at all. It’s insane that they let him be the face for anything tbh. No one trusts him and he acts like a robot, he’s not relatable at all. I genuinely kinda feel bad for the guy. I don’t think he ever will have a normal life and has been under a microscope since he was what, 18?

I have a feeling the Meta team isn't really allowed to tell Mark to step back. He obviously wants the attention and credit for all the cool stuff his company is creating.

Great to hear your perspective Jesse. I am not sure I agree that the Quest isn't selling (I have read there might be 30-40 million in the wild) but I do agree the attach rate is bad. A bit like the Wii, so many of them end up in the closet after Christmas. Apple joining in is only a good thing for Meta as it's getting people excited about AR/XR/VR. I am pretty sure headsets will be very popular by the end of ths decade, so an ideal market to get involved with music wise!

The research I had showed just 20 million units sold, but regardless you're right that most people who buy it end up forgetting about it after a month or two. Same thing may happen with Vision Pro - we'll see!

The articles on sales numbers at 20 million are all from March 2023 and the Quest had one of it's best Christmas sales yet (particularily with the now cheaper Quest 2). As for the Vision Pro, this generation will likely see little use but Apple are clearly setting up the roadmap for cheaper more, mass consumer versions in the future.@@SyncMyMusic

Apple isn't a Tech company anymore it's an aspirartional Lifestyle Brand and I agree with Zuck about the 'fanboy' thing. People pay insane prices for their stuff, even in the production music space where the gear stays behind the scenes many producers seem happy to pay way over the odds for their Macs despite them being non-upgradable, non-repairable, glued together etc and no more powerful than the alternative. I think in life you're generally going to lean towards the Apple style, fashionable, branded kinda stuff and maybe want to drive a Tesla...or your gonna lean towards the more utilitarian side of life. Windows PC's, drive a car that's not a fashion statement, rock an Android phone. etc. I mean all that money, and look at his clothes and his couch ! Clearly not interested in coming across as the 'cool' guy. But you often find people with inner self belief / confidence are this way because they don't need the shiny status symbol that a brand like Apple can offer.

To a lot of what you said I disagree with, but your point about Mark Zuckerberg stepping back is the right one. Imagine if Bill Gates was at every Xbox announcement, talking about it and being the the face associated with it. It would have been a disaster, but he was smart enough to find the right people and step back

Mark needs to stay behind the scenes 100%! Get someone else to be the face. I don’t think Mark is marketable for this niche. I didn’t even know they was building this tbh.
