Could Apple or Nintendo make VR mainstream?

Not to mention they announced they are the number one watch maker in the world, they just surpassed Rolex under 2 years. So yeah, they made it more mainstream. And I bet they will dive deeper soon, as there are rumors that their new Watch will measure glucose.

 

So if Rolex was number 1 and they are known pricey watch then you know the market for watches has shrunk. Who the fuck wears watches anymore? Not many people.

They were no.1 exactly due to what you said: expensive watches, that generates a lot of revenue. That's what no.1 means btw. While I agree with you that the market definitely shunk and people used watches much more in the past, I disagree that it's niche like you imply: I still see lots of people wearing old watches... most of the time for fashion purposes. The interesting thing about smarthwatches is that they are so connected with our phones/gadgets that they make our lives easier, that's their selling point, and that's why they are biggening the watch market.

OT: No, I don't think neither will atempt making a VR. And Apple will most likely just keep supporting VR on their devices, like iMacs.
