Meta ne ek aisa faisla liya hai jo VR shaukeen logon ko mehenga padega. Company ne ghoshna ki hai ki uske Quest VR headsets ke daam 19 April se badh jaayenge. Iska matlab hai ki agar aap naya Quest 3 ya Quest 3S lena chahte hain, toh aapko ab jaldi karna hoga ya phir zyada paise kharch karne honge.
Kya-Kya Mehenga Hoga? Daam Ka Pura Breakdown
Sabse zyada daam badhega flagship Quest 3 headset ka. Iski keemat ab $599 ho jaayegi, jo ki pehle se $100 zyada hai. Original Story ke mutabiq, entry-level Quest 3S bhi is price hike se bach nahi payi hai. 128GB storage wala model $350 ka ho jaayega (pehle se $50 zyada) aur 256GB wala version $450 ka hoga (pehle se $50 zyada).
Ek dikkat ki baat yeh bhi hai ki refurbished Quest units, jo ki pehle saste milte the, woh bhi ab mehengi ho jaayengi. Haalanki, iske saath accessories jaise controllers aur charging docks ke daam waise hi rahenge, unmein koi badhotri nahi aayegi.
Daam Badhne Ki Wajah Kya Hai? Meta Ne Diya Ye Karan
Meta ne is price hike ki wajah RAM ki badhti hui keemat batayi hai. Company ka kehna hai ki AI companies apne data centers ke liye jitna ho sake utna memory kharid rahi hain, jiski wajah se chips ki kami ho gayi hai aur RAM ke daam aasman chhu rahe hain. Original Story isi wajah ko point karti hai.
Yeh sirf Meta ki problem nahi lag rahi. Original story mein yeh bhi bataya gaya hai ki Sony ne bhi haal hi mein apne PS5 consoles aur PlayStation Portal handheld ke daam badhaye hain, aur Microsoft ne bhi apne Surface PCs mehenge kiye hain. Lagta hai hardware banane wali saari companies isi samasya se jujh rahi hain.
Hamaari Baat: Consumer Par Padne Wala Asar
Seedhi baat hai, yeh khabar VR market ke liye acchi nahi hai. Quest headsets, khaas kar ke Quest 3S, ko affordable entry point maana jaata tha. $50-$100 ka increase aise buyers ko directly affect karega jo budget mein VR try karna chahte the.
Hamari nazar mein, Meta ka yeh step thoda risky hai. Competition, jaise ki Apple Vision Pro, already bahut mehenga hai. Ab agar Quest bhi mehenga ho gaya, toh log sochne par majboor ho jaayenge ki kya yeh sahi investment hai. Haalanki, agar RAM ki keemat waqayi itni badh gayi hai, toh company ke paas option bhi kam hai. Par iska poora asar tabhi pata chalega jab 19 April ke baad dekhenge ki log is nayi keemat par Quest khareedne ko taiyar hain ya nahi.
