So many arguments have already fallen flat, and plenty new games and headsets are on the way. But sure, keep comparing it to the 90's! Anyway the sooner the cash in semi games/experiences run out of favor the better.

Personally I was expecting a way worse experience than I got with psvr, and I'm still playing nightly 9 months later, while eagerly checking the weekly new releases. Playing on a screen feels very restrictive now, when I turn my head I can't seen the screen, wth kinda primitive nonsense is that!

[...]

I also love VR, don't get me wrong. But it's still a niche and it will always be a niche. Most people simply don't care about it and it's too much of a hassle. With the last iteration of headsets, the manufacturers obviously expected a much higher success. There were dreams about everyone and their mother using VR for Facebook and whatnot. Now some time later we see that even gamers care little about it and the most successful headsets, the mobile ones, barely sell more than 2 million a year. It failed at the mass market miserably and that is not going to change anytime soon. Because of that, developers are turned off. There is just no money to be made with VR. Developing games is expensive as fuck and the install base is a joke. Ports of old games like Skyrim and patches for some existing games is all there is to it. 

Many folks don't like the comparison between VR and 3D. And I know why. 3D actually sold better. Much better. So, while I'm looking forward to play Fallout 4 in VR and really really adore Elite Dangerous in VR, I still won't give in to the imagination that VR is some kind of game changer.
