If local multiplayer was important, the Wii U would have a lot more sales.

And looking at how well COD is selling and how a sizable of players play online multiplayer, I don't the think the anti-local drawback is a big deal. Plus, apps to contact friends online and seeing them in a VR environment may interest people too.

The only big drawback in VR tech is the inconvenience of wearing a device on your face and the cost to own one. Good marketing may combat the former and advances in technology can reduce the latter. But I'm also skeptical about how well it will do this gen. I haven't seen any of the software or games that support VR though.
