I'm actually thinking that VR is going to flop pretty badly. A lot of people don't want to game with an annoying headset over their eyes, and especially not if the headset's expensive.

Don't worry, VR won't replace the "normal" gaming on TVs. Many genres aren't even suited for VR.

VR will offer new gaming experiences that you can't get otherwise, some new genres or subgenres will be born. And a few existing genres will work very good in VR... For example slow paced exploration games like "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" or suspense horror games like "Alien: Isolation".

A group of gamers that will jump into VR in a blink of an eye are the hardcore simulator fans. Flight sims, Train sims or Racing sim fans already spend hundreds on special controllers and have expensive set-ups to enjoy their games.

The promise to really feel to be in the cockpit would be too tempting for them.
