And the fourth pillar is none other than Meta. No no, wait, don't leave yet!
I know VR is not huge, and somehow it's looked at with disdain or resistance by some of the most hardcore gamers, yet they ironically are the ones who are supposed to keep up with the latest trends. (Xbox was seen with opposition when they were new too.)
But at the very least, with as many consoles sold (arguably more, no updated info on this) as the Xbox Series combined, Meta Quest is a legitimate console with its own ecosystem, it even has a "Games with Gold" style subscription in Meta Quest Plus. It's basically a console at this point.
And it's backed by a multi-billion company which in the past acquired several big studios who are their first party developers now, a company that is very similar to Microsoft in that they use the same bullish, monopolistic tactics to get what they want.
Meta is already a player in the console space alongside Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and seemingly nobody realized this yet.
