Nintendo is working on VR, Kimishima has confirmed it and I believe the Nintendo World theme park with also incorporate VR.
VR is not like 3D, it is a much more tangiable experience, I would say it's more like online ... in the early days when the Dreamcast had online a lot of people were saying online would not take off and wasn't a big deal.
Or even early on, I remember people saying polygonal graphics were overrated and wasn't going to become the future of gaming (this is around when Star Fox came out).
Well it just took some time for the technology to become more widespread. The same will happen with VR IMO. In 10 years you'll have VR light years beyond the current stuff that's much lighter/easier to use and cheap.
