Phil Spencer hopes VR isn't the future of gaming.

I kinda have to agree with him. VR mustn't be something that defines how every game in the future should be or how it should play. I wouldn't mind for it to be a complement, since VR running amok as the only way to play a game can't be good for the industry.

Yep it's not all or nothing. There is a lot of space between the future of gaming and a gimmick.
Mobile phone games, once tauted as the future of gaming (actually still are) are happily co-existing with console games.
VR games can co-exist fine with family room friendly gaming.
