Arrr! It be seemin' that Meta be settin' sail away from the treasure of high-seas mixed reality, if this scallywag report be true. Aye, they’ve got the wind outta their sails, lookin' more like landlubbers than swashbucklers!

Ahoy, mateys! It be news from the tech seas that Meta, that scallywag of a company, be tossin’ overboard a fancier mixed reality headset, rumored to be the successor to the Meta Quest Pro. It seems the lukewarm reception of the Apple Vision Pro, priced like a treasure chest at $3,499, be weighin’ heavy on their decision sails. The talkin’ heads at The Information be spillin’ the beans, claimin’ that this device, dubbed La Jolla, won’t be makin’ port till 2027!

Meta’s own chief tinkerer, Andrew Bosworth, chimed in, sayin’ they be workin’ on many contraptions but sometimes let the lesser ones slip into Davy Jones’ locker. Fear not, for Meta ain’t givin’ up on their quest for virtual gold; they be launching a new headset, the Meta Quest 3S, next month that won’t require ye to sell yer ship to afford!

It seems the costly micro-OLED displays be a thorn in their side, along with the fact that even the Apple crew be returnin' their Vision Pro like a bad catch of the day. With the Meta Quest Pro flounderin’ in sales compared to the cheaper Quest 3, it’s clear that Meta needs to navigate these waters more wisely. Arrr, what a tale of tech turmoil, eh?!
