How much money are they throwing into this? I doubt it is a huge investment that they can't recover from, more like Kinect or Hololens for MS. At worst, they'll stay at the top of the VR market.



Their "Reality Labs" (AR and VR) ran an operating loss of 3.7 billions this quarter. By comparison their total revenue for the same quarter was 27.7 billions.


Like 25%-33% of the annual revenue. Easily enough to sink the company if they continue without a turn around.


Hard to sink when it's smaller than their operating profit from FB/IG/WhatsApp.
