I think the Oculus Quest is mainstream. It's relatively cheap. Easy to use. Completely standalone. And most importantly it has at least one game that it's actually worth buying it for (Beatsabre). Nothing on the Hololens made me think "yeah I want to do that again".


Oculus Quest sold something like 200k units... That's small potatoes and I wouldn't classify Quest or VR as 'mainstream'.


They’ve sold way more units than that. At least 400,000 units as of October 2019 according to this:

Fair, but that is still niche. It's a big world out there and those numbers are small in that context.


Quest has had serious supply chain problems since early November. They were unavailable for the entire month of December.


Demand is outstripping supply. You still can't buy one.
