As I said before, it's pretty much dead. Vive and Rift combined have probably not even 400K at best. They are expensive and demand expensive hardware. It's not a viable platform. PSVR has a shot at making it, at least will outsell these two by 2000 miles.
For gaming playtforms, the enthuasiast market is irrelevant. It's like a Ferrari. You sell just a bit, but they are hundreds of time more expensive than a common car, giving you a large margin. VR games still sell at the same price than regular games. VR needs to pull a Kinect move: sell dozens of millions in a short timespan. Mind that Kinect was 100 bucks.
Anyway, let's face it: if all VR headsets combined don't do at least a 20M install base, VR will be dead before Q4 2017. Vita and Wii U were abandoned because they were deemed not viable with a 13M+ install base. That says a lot about a platform with just a few hundred thousand units sold.
