VR will be big eventually, just not yet. Too many tech companies like Facebook over-invested in VR trying to make it "the next big thing" when the technology and costs simply are not there yet. In 10-20 years, sure. People try to push things too early, waste money, and fail.
it will never ever succeed on the scale it's proponents think. I had VR, quickly got bored of it
You could have said the same thing about the internet in the 90s. Just wait until better games and applications come out for it. Eventually it has greater growth potential than monitor + keyboard and mouse or console. But the hardware needs to get cheaper and the games/applications need to get a lot better. Right now I have no interest in it because it probably can't do anything better than a PC except maybe porn.
It's not about having a killer app. It's the fact you shut off the outside, people just don't care for it. Sure I'll still pop in occasionally - but it will never (for example) take over from my tv and controller for FIFA
FIFA?
There we go
