>Meta sells reasonably good gaming headsets to customers who want to be entertained in VR; we're selling general-purpose productivity devices which are aimed at replacing PCs and laptops. So our real competition is laptops & PCs, not other gaming headsets.
Everything Meta has been releasing publicly about their VR Headset plans make it blatantly clear that it is not only targeting gaming.

I think the malicious intent is all on Meta's side. They have a head start with Occulus, no one else is even close in the US.
Google has Daydream, and working on more
Bytedance has the Pico's
HTC has the Vive
Huawei has one as well, don't remember it right now
Nintendo has something similar to daydream but for the Switch
Panasonic has the MeganeX
Samsung has the Gear
Simula have their headset
They all sell some form of headset hardware.
There isn't anyone with a current model headset like the Quest, that is even remotely close in market share in the US.
