Okay, guys, can I point out a couple real problems with these VR and camera setups?

First off - VR heagear.
Whether you're talking big bulky helmet or sleek looking glasses, you've still got a basic problem: YOU CAN'T SEE REALITY.
This is great for if you're at a special arcade for it, but in your own home this is a BAD thing, just look at home many Wiimote injuries were reported when people COULD see what they were doing.
There's another problem that comes with this. NOBODY ELSE CAN SEE EITHER.
Seriously, great for single player games, but if anyone else wants to be able to join you for a multiplayer game, they've got to get their own glasses, not economical.


Why are you so against this?  It's like you're thinking up all the possible problems it could have just because you don't like the idea.

I already said in a previous post that you can sit down on the couch and play games with a visor.  You don't have to be up walking around and bumping into things, that's retarded.  People have been playing video games on a couch since the Atari 2600, I don't see why this has to be any different.  Even with a Wii Remote-like controller, you don't have to make exaggerated movements to play the game.  If you do want to do something like bowling, it's easy enough, you clear a space in front of the couch, put the visor on, and bowl.

As far as the multiplayer aspect goes, sure, goggles for everyone gets expensive.  But that doesn't seem to stop people from playing multiplayer DS games, where everyone has to own their own DS.  It doesn't stop people from playing online multiplayer games, where everone has to own their own 360 and connect it to Xbox Live.  If you want to play at a friend's house, bring your goggles over.  That's what my friends and I do with our Wii Remotes, since none of us have more than two of them.

As someone else said, stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities.  The Wii has many limitations compared to other current-gen consoles, and look how well it's doing!
