标题：Meta元宇宙项目巨亏近500亿美元，公司仍坚持十年投资计划
尽管Meta的元宇宙项目在过去的几年中累计亏损了近500亿美元，但公司仍然决定在这个领域持续大力投资。Meta全球业务部门负责人尼科拉·门德尔索恩在达沃斯世界经济论坛上表示，Meta对元宇宙的“全部愿景”还需要“相当长的时间，大概十年”。
自2019年以来，包含Meta VR和元宇宙业务的Reality Labs部门累计亏损了470亿美元。尽管如此，Meta仍然坚持对人工智能和硬件领域的投入，认为这两者都将成为元宇宙发展的重要基石。
2023年4月，扎克伯格向投资者表示，Meta并没有转向人工智能领域，而是“双管齐下”，同时关注元宇宙和人工智能的发展。2021年，扎克伯格将Facebook更名为Meta，并通过宣传视频宣称公司将成为“元宇宙公司”。
然而，Meta在元宇宙中的一些行动并未得到公众的广泛认同。例如，扎克伯格在元宇宙中与埃菲尔铁塔合影的虚拟形象引来一片嘲讽，不少人将其戏称为“上世纪90年代游戏画风”，并指出其没有双腿。
尽管面临巨大的亏损，Meta仍然坚持其在元宇宙领域的长期投资计划。这可能会对Meta的财务状况产生影响，但也可能为公司在未来的竞争中获得优势。

Title: Metaverse Project Wipes Out Nearly $50 Billion, Company Remains Firm on Ten-Year Investment Plan
Despite the company’s metaverse project having accumulated a loss of nearly $50 billion over the past few years, Meta is still determined to invest heavily in this field. Nicola Mendelsohn, head of Meta’s global business division, stated at the World Economic Forum in Davos that Meta’s “total vision” for the metaverse still requires “quite a long time, probably ten years.”
Since 2019, the Reality Labs division, which includes Meta’s VR and metaverse businesses, has recorded a cumulative loss of $47 billion. Nonetheless, Meta remains committed to investing in artificial intelligence and hardware, believing that both will serve as crucial cornerstones for the development of the metaverse.
In April 2023, Zuckerberg told investors that Meta was not shifting its focus to the field of artificial intelligence but instead was “working on both fronts,” simultaneously focusing on the development of the metaverse and AI. In 2021, Zuckerberg renamed Facebook as Meta and proclaimed through a promotional video that the company would become a “metaverse company.”
However, some of Meta’s actions in the metaverse have not been widely accepted by the public. For example, Zuckerberg’s virtual image standing next to the Eiffel Tower in the metaverse drew widespread ridicule, with many mocking it as “gamer art from the 90s” and noting that it lacked legs.
Despite facing significant losses, Meta remains firm on its long-term investment plan in the metaverse. This may have an impact on Meta’s financial situation, but it could also give the company an advantage in future competitions.
