VR could go big in 2017 if the pricing hits right. The pricing should fall incredibly rapidly on VR, because when you add it up, there's really not much to speak of :

OLED Screens, lenses, housing, sensors, connector, some leds, etc. Thanks to Cell phone prices plummeting like crazy and quality increasing rapidly, all of this stuff is dropping in price like a rock on the supply side.

PSVR standalone could hit $199 pretty easily once economy of scale kicks in, and I also expect $199 PC VR headsets no later than fall of 2017. By that time, we may well be looking at AMD RX560 and Nvidia 1150 4GB cards selling for $149 and less that can do VR @ 60FPS with decent details (970+ Performance).

Fixed that for you.

I agree with you though. Maybe not on the hard numbers, but with the sentiment that prices should be able to fall pretty quickly. I'm actually interested to see how the headsets themselves evolve over the next 5 or so years. I imagine by that time we'll be looking at the third itteration of the major PC headsets and we'll probably well into the lifecycle of the second PSVR unit.
