If the new Quest 2 by Oculus costs just $299 and has a higher resolution and build in tracking how can Valve justify the price of the Index considering you even have to buy the base stations and controllers separately?

It makes me think that Valve must really be making a killing on their headset and probably don't even care about having to replace parts because they have such a high markup. The QA and general construction is so bad they seem to be really milking their consumers.
