I don't think any metaverse oriented for retail shopping will ever beat amazon as long as the VR hardware doesn't become vastly better.
I will wait for this one to get big and short it like I do with most metaverse projects including sandbox, decentraland, etc.
Think about it, and try to put yourself in the shoes of someone shopping, the experience is actually better on amazon, so why go shop on highly pixelated rendering of products when you can just look at a high res picture with as few clicks as possible? There is absolutely no need to replicate commute and walking around to find items, do not take the worst of the shopping experience in physical space and reproduce it in a 3D environment. Most people have switched to shop on amazon for a reason... The only thing I would consider shopping for in a metaverse would be for renting an apartment if I'm currently not in the city. I would consider using a metaverse version for buying real estate as a first step to save on commute, but I would still want to visit the place in person, unless it's a pre-construction. Show Less
