If development technology ever rapidly surpasses what's available on consoles in such a way that PC cannot pick up the slack (like virtual reality as the OP stated), then arcades will make a comeback. Currently, there's no incentive, because consoles are evolving to have the versatility to do what old arcade machines could do. PS3 and 360 are level with most current arcade boards, all the consoles are adaptive to the peripheral-based arcade machines like DDR or Guitar Hero, and Wii has co-opted things like the light-gun machines, or the arcade racers.
