One year after release, on 31 Oct 2024, will Meta's smart glasses with livestreaming and AI integration be considered a successful product?

Resolution is vague, I will just look up recent articles and try to be impartial.

Since this is very subjective, I won't bet on this market.

During Meta's prior earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg told investors enthusiastically that the glasses have been a bigger hit than expected since launch and, at that time, demand for them outpaced Meta's ability to build them. In response, Meta has invested in its partner EssilorLuxottica SA, the maker of Ray-Bans.

In Lux's earnings this month, the European company said the strong growth of the Meta Ray-Bans was one of the biggest drivers of overall sales in the prior quarter. The glasses have also been the top-selling product in many of the company's stores in different regions of the world.

This is pretty unambiguous to me. You can buy good reviews, but not strong sales numbers.

Resolving YES.

IMO, this should resolve YES already, since they're selling a lot more than expected.

I am not so certain.. They were released to great fanfare, but I am not sure they've achieved product market fit. Will wait until the resolution date.

What criteria are you using to judge "success" or "failure"? Going by stories like this, I'd have assumed it would already be considered a success.

Does yes mean “success or failure” with no meaning “middle or the road?”

@Soren Sorry, I missed your comment.

The title is bad.

"YES" for success, NO for failure.
