VR was touted as a big deal in here since at least a year back, I've maintained that it's too expensive and not nearly well enough implemented to make any difference in traditional gaming and that sales overall would be slow. That still seems to have been a correct assumption, even the cheap smartphone glasses have only sold a few million worldwide (these are like 30-50$ a piece).

VR is too soon, mainstream hardware isn't really close to good enough to properly utilize it either yet, which further decreases the value.

Yeppp. I was attacked for saying (in 2014/2015) that VR wouldn't take off. Well it's now 2017 and it still hasn't

That's because it wasn't out in 2014/2015, and the barrier for entry in 2016 was $1600 until about 3 months ago where PSVR has finally allowed a cheaper alternative d: if VR wasn't going to take off then that's pretty impressive that MS decided to back off from AR being the gaming future to developing VR for Scorpio. But what do they, Google, Sony, and like every other major tech company know lol. (Please don't hate me my brother from another Oregon mother. We have the quickest log off times for pornhub ;_;)
