Gaming Discussion - Why VR? - View Post

VR will be lucky to reach the status of a fad. I mean look at 3D. It's awesome when it's done right. 3D games on consoles are mostly awesome and 3D on the 3DS is awesome. Yet it hasn't quite caught on as the hopeful hoped.
Now you've got VR. Bulky, awkward, expensive, potentially dangerous, requires specialized game development, makes you look like a fool and can only really be enjoyed alone. There will be a small number of hobbyists who will be nuts about it (there already is), and the few outside of that circle who purchase a VR system will regret it like they did the OUYA.
