I fail to see AR surpassing VR in sales or reception. Two breeds of the same creature no doubt, but anything that can be done in AR can be done in VR while the inverse is not true. AR is extremely limited by your environment, more specifically your home. Anyone thinking they're going to walk around outside with HD wireless AR is living a pipe dream with where current technology is at.
Something that the OP seems to ignore is the hindrance in procedurally generated AR as well. I look forward to seeing how this tech actually performs in the real world. (Blu-ray vs HDDVD?)
Yet again I'm waiting for Microsoft to deliver on a promise.
