VR is not a gimmick, how can "Virtual Reality" be a gimmick? It aims to make games as immersive and as close to actually being there as possible, it's not a gimmick at all. You could say that the current technology isn't there so it fails in this task but what it is aiming for is anything but a gimmick.
It's what people have dreaming about for decades.
A gimmick is something used to attract attention, that at first may cause a lot of interest and be fun, but quickly loses interest and is then seldom used or not wanted by the majority.
