Oculus VR had one big hardware surprise to reveal at its annual Connect developer conference on Wednesday: the all-new standalone Quest virtual reality headset. The Quest is a culmination of Oculus’ last five years of VR work, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called it a major step toward getting a billion people into VR.

But the following day, Oculus chief technology officer John Carmack — a video game industry legend who is responsible for creating seminal shooter titles like Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake — was more straightforward: the Oculus Quest is a gaming console. “Realistically, we are going to wind up competing with the Nintendo Switch,” Carmack told the crowd. Where the Oculus Go headset is “80 percent media and 20 percent gaming,” the Oculus Quest is emphatically gaming-focused. In fact, it’s arguably the first VR headset to offer the perks that have drawn people to products from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.
