- Smartwatches. Maybe in the future they will be useful, but right now they are sometimes reach 300 bucks and their only functionality is to make you have to pick up your phone less often. It's not like it's that hard to look at my phone. Plus, most of them cannot even go a full day with a charge, being another gadget crying for a power source.
- Voice assistants (Siri, Google Now, Cortana, Moto Voice, etc). The Google Now cards are actually useful. I'm talking strictly about voice. It's unreliable and nobody wants to talk with their phone in public like an idiot.
- VR. People didn't wanted 3D because it really didn't gave the immersion it promised, was based on uncomfortable glasses, made it harder to do other stuff while watching 3D content (glasses) and caused nausea to some people. VR is all of that maximized and ten times worse. It won't give the immersion people expected. The resolution is low, pixels are visible, nausea is a huge issue, it won't allow you to do anything else while using VR (don't you look at your phone while playing?). It won't have the so promised "presence" because it only feeds you visual information while your other senses (like balance) say different stuff. It's a big flop already. Even Sony seems to recognize by launching an updated PS4 to have other thing to push sales. Anyone thinking that it's for VR is being delusional. Now people will have to chose if they want to put 400 bucks on PSVR or simply trade their PS4 and put less than that to get a 4K model. The first option, gives you a handful of games. The second one will provide upgrades for basically all games from now on. They know people won't just buy both and expend 800 dollars to get a better VR experience.
