People saw the potential so much that still today it's considered child play... don't rewrite the history. I asked if you were able to tell the state of gaming today when you saw Pong in the 70's and you said yes... that is totally different than saying that you saw potential in it.

VR is new and we have cardboard VR, Youtube 360, porn in VR, 2M PSVR sold and Oculus and Vive... I would say that it's possible more than what Pong had.

And not to forget that the plural of anedocte isn't data. Sure VR is still niche, but you can't affirm that from today PSVR there is no possibility that it will evolve a lot and become a very good platform for gaming.

#1 Relevance?

#2 So you admit that VR is not a good platform yet?

The difference is Pong was FUN, people spent hours and hours with it. People still play it today to a degree. VR is supposed to blow us all away and it has fell flat to be honest. I have several friends on PSN with a PSVR that I never see them use and my personal friends also rarely use theres. Now I understand this is a small case study and there are people who love it but I have a feeling its a niche for the majority of people.

You want the relevance of you having to move the goal post? You explain that. The relevance of people not knowing what games would become when seeing Pong shows that the fact that today you not seeing the future of VR isn't something that are certain to happen.

I admit that it can improve, some users are already loving it, I don't have that much content to play on, but I have liked it enough so far.

It may be niche, but you can't determine that based on yourself.
