VR is the future I'm sure but how many generations before mass acceptance is the question. Clearly there are factors like comfort, content, price etc that will take time to solve. VR headsets will shrink considerably too no doubt in 10 years little bigger than a pair of glasses and convenient to travel with possibly. Many compare VR to the poor acceptance of 3D tvs but the point about that is 3D tv's only offer a small taste of the VR experience. VR is total immersion in the gaming world and clearly this needs to be games that would benefit from that i.e. first person view games. I'm sure many games will change to the first person perspective because of VR.

I don't disagree with the comments about loss making though but establishing your VR brand is pretty critical so many companies may even sell at a loss to get the largest early foothold on the market. Maybe in a few years we would have forgotten about Microsoft and Sony when we decide between buying steam VR or oculus rift mk4.
