Meta Quest 3S: Amazon's 2024 Best-Selling Console
In a surprising turn of events, the Meta Quest 3S outsold major gaming consoles like the Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on Amazon in 2024. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering its October launch. The budget-friendly VR headset secured the top spot in Amazon's video game console category, even ranking #11 overall among all video game products—surpassing the PlayStation 5 Slim (#17) and Nintendo Switch (#53). Remarkably, Xbox consoles didn't even feature in the top 80, although some peripherals did.
The Quest 3S's success highlights the growing appeal of VR gaming. Its accessibility—offering untethered freedom and compatibility without requiring a powerful PC or console—likely contributed significantly to its popularity. This contrasts with competitors like the PlayStation VR2, which didn't appear on Amazon's best-seller list, potentially due to its tethered nature and reliance on a PlayStation console.
Interestingly, the discontinued Meta Quest 2 also made the list (#27), while the original Meta Quest 3 did not. This suggests a strong preference for more affordable VR options. The presence of the Meta Quest 2 and the absence of the more expensive Meta Quest 3 further reinforces the significance of the Quest 3S's price point.
The future of console sales remains uncertain. With the Nintendo Switch 2 anticipated in 2025, and the continued evolution of VR technology, the 2025 Amazon best-seller list promises to be equally captivating. However, the 2024 results clearly demonstrate a burgeoning interest in accessible VR gaming.
