Your expectations for the switch's game visual quality can't be that high if you are comparing it to mobile vr titles..

 

Obviously Switch VR is not going to be Oculus Rift/HTC Vive quality. But if the price for entry is small, a lot of fun can be had with a mobile type VR experience.

It reminds me of the Wii remote versus Playstation Move. I don't know whether Nintendo will go into VR this gen and whether the screen is infact 1080p, but if Nintendo did do VR the most important aspect of bringing it to the masses is accessibility and game experiences. The industry will always overestimate the importance of visuals, I remember when Wii sports was first shown off, one of the main talking points was how bad the graphics looked (when infact they were just intentionally simplistic) and the lack of 1:1 accuracy. Suddenly the system is out and Wii sports is a phenomenom.

If Nintendo made a Metroid VR experience , Made a Pokemon Go/Snap type VR game,  VR Mario Kart experience, VR Splatoon experience. And they do this using the components which already come with the Switch (joycons with motion control & IR, Switch Screen+ Gyro etc) and a $50 headset, the number of active VR users on Switch would outnumber those on other platforms within a matter of weeks.
