why would it need to be a massive immediate retail success?
moreover, why do you seem so irritated that you might not be the target audience here?

do you seriously think retail consumers are the demographic Apple is trying to capture right now?
talk to some creative professionals & craftsmen. my company used to work with hololens on a regular basis but there way too much jank in how it performed in a live setting. If the Vision Pro provides even the same level of utility but manages to make live object rendering & tracking consistent and reliable, they’re going to sell truckloads. Hollywood alone has probably 100 different ways to use this tech on set to slim creative workflows and save time (and therefore money). a $5000 headset is practically a rounding error when your principals cost 10x that per hour.
it’s not just that i want to stay in my bubble i want to make sure everyone else stays in my bubble too
nintendo isn’t pouring anything into mario+rabbids, it’s an ubisoft game through and through.
congrats you didn’t even try to answer the questions he asked.
i’m curious…were you just answering the questions you wanted him to ask instead?
I don’t think my “window of experience” has any impact on the objective reality that cable had ads from square 1.
that’s patently untrue.
the first cable stations were OTA (network) stations from major cities being served to rural areas. those had ads.
the first cable-specific channel was TBS which was just a converted Atlanta NBC channel that also had ads.
as basic cable grew, new channels launched with ads.
Premium channels like HBO launched in the 70s without ads but afaik those channels are still ad-free except self-promotion between shows.
Except for Pokémon games which are saved directly to the internal storage and unable to be moved unless you have the original save device (and it’s working) as well as the new device and transfer the save manually.
Splatoon is the same. Saves are locked to the system, even with NSO.
Animal crossing was the same until people raised hell about it.
You’re a retail consumer and you’re confused why all of the messaging you’re seeing is geared towards retail consumers?
