Too cheap VR "QUEST 2" Unfairly sold?While investigating the US Federal Trade Commission, Meta, he's Suma!

 It seems that the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating Meta's VR category on suspicion of violating the antitrust law.Several overseas media reports, including US media Bloomberg

 One of the reasons is that the VR headset "Meta Quest 2" is too cheap.

 "Meta Quest 2" is currently on sale for $ 299 (37,180 yen including tax in Japan).Product improvement (replacement) was implemented a while ago, and the cheaper storage capacity increased (64GB → 128GB).Since the price is stationary, it is more affordable from the consumer perspective.

 The information that the FTC survey has begun, is reported by Overseas Media THE VERGE.The details are unknown at this time, but it has already begun to hear from a third party VR developer.

 The organization seems to be investigating the acquisition of the Within (the VR fitness application "SUPERNATURAL") that Meta Co., Ltd.

 It seems that the US Department of Justice was investigating this case in 2020.German regulatory authorities also announced the investigation at this time.

 As of January 2022, Meta (Oculus) has been winning alone in the VR neighborhood.The share of HTC (the manufacturer of Vive), which was once rivalry, is shrinking."VALVE INDEX" is in good health, but since it is a high -end product that costs around 100,000 yen in the first place, it cannot be compared on the same playing 2 for the 30,000 yen.

 I feel that the tailwind to Meta is even stronger, with meta spring featured on TV even in Japan.Does this FTC survey "wait" to this momentum?I'm worried about future developments.
