VR needs to dramatically drop in price if they ever want it to become mainstream, but the thing is, this stuff has to start somewhere. The same went for these:
- Blu Ray was not popular until Sony decided to add it into every PS3... now it's pretty damn popular. Sony did the same thing with the PS1 and PS2 by helping popularize CD's & DVD's.
- 3D was attempted for years and always failed.... now you see most new TV's have 3D available. Even if it never took off in the gaming department, 3D movies are still pretty popular
So I would totally disagree with you that those failed. They are still growing in popularity as we speak and mostly due to Sony's push. So even tho streaming failed for OnLive, I'm willing to bet that Sony's push for it could drastically propel its popularity. VR we will have to wait and see I guess. It may not take off as the new thing, but by introducing it to the market, in a few years we could see VR prices drop and it become more of a household item.
