Yeah but even the most expensive VR kits are awkward AF right now. When a VR headset costs the same as a nintendo controller and weighs not much more than an ordinary pair of glasses, if people still don't want to use it I'll say it's dead as entertainment. But I think making that determination while the technology still sucks is premature. I guess it would be kind of like saying cell phones would never take off back when they were the size of a suitcase.
Oh I'm taking it for granted it will eventually. No one ever won betting against tech miniaturization/cost reduction. I couldn't give you a timeline on this.
if the technology existed today, it would be a big gamble to produce it at a scale cheap enough for what you describe. there need to be some serious pokémon GO style hits to set it off, along with a heavy marketing campaign. after all that, you are still betting that the game playing public will mass adopt this new paradigm when gaming is declining in general.

that would be a revolution. I don't see it happening, but if it does I would agree that VR would probably become a lot more popular.
