If a developer asks me “should I build on either the Vision Pro or Quest?” I’ll break it down here. TDLR: both have huge issues, but great for experimentation. 1. Choose a faction: If you are exploring and don’t care about making money. Choose whether you want to do games or utility apps. Games go Quest, Apps go Vision Pro. 2. Demographic: For Vision Pro you will be mostly building for millennial techies or Apple die hards. For Quest market is mostly selling to young boys. 3. Cost: Vision Pro is very expensive $3.5K plus tax, plus requires a Mac with M1 or above (Mac Mini cheapest option starting $450). Quest starts at $250 and requires a $500+ PC to dev for. If you are using Unity, Quest can be made with the base version while Unity Pro is required for the Vision Pro which is $185 a month. 4. Revenue: If you want to make money both are difficult. Vision Pro will have a substantially smaller install base (200K+ probably reach 400K this year) but higher chance of people paying for an app (per capita). Quest you would likely want to start with freemium to compete with other free apps, but the Quest has much larger install base (20+ million devices). 5. Games: If you choose to make games, remember the top games leverage movement. Ask yourself “what can I do in a headset that I can’t do in normal games”. If it’s not compelling enough to get people to put on a headset at all, they won’t play it. Don’t make a long tutorial and focus more on the core mechanic than the narrative. 6. App Store: In some aspects the Vision Pro is more open, the store policies are clear and easy to get approved, while Quest is heavily “curated” (predatory) and you are highly unlikely as a new developer to ever get your game published. I’m talking about years if ever (seriously). If you have buddies on the content team at Meta you may have a decent chance, or a game dev who has worked in the space at AAA studios. If you are a Quest “chosen one” you can make a decent amount of money. Top games on Quest can make $ million+. Can make OK money if you are very successful on App Lab (5-6 figures). So in summary don’t get into VR right now if you want fast money. Do it because it’s interesting, unique, and you want prepare for the future (or you have friends at Meta).
