I feel sorry for those that don't realise their opinion isn't a fact...

Well most people think so. Sure its still an opinion in the end but everything is a opinion. "Witcher 3 looks better then Morrowind" => thats just your opinion.

 

Most people are blewn away from vr and playing a game like skyrim VR is just unbelievable.

 

Just do your own research. Look for any random video, nothing staged by me: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=first+vr+expierence

Not everything is opinion. If you change your statement to X game sold more than Y game then it is a fact not an opinion.  See the difference ?

I find AR to be more interesting than VR, especially considering the price and what that tech can do.

 

That's a whole new level of AR for me and it blew my mind seeing it happen. All in real time and during daylight.

 

Well AR definitly has some potenial for production and stuff (so workers see their instruductions all the time and that stuff) but its hard to implement in gaming. Pokemon GO was a cool idea but thats basically already where the technology ends (though doing it with glasses instead if phones would be better).

 

I also dont think that most gamers wont enjoy VR or wont think its the best way to play games. Its more a fact that (with current low sales) many people just havnt tried it yet. There may be 30, 40 mio people that actually got the chance to try it so far. Thats basically it.

If you see people reacting to VR, in most cases they are blown away and find it far more enjoyable then watching stuff just on a tv.

Here are 2 example:

 

And Mobile VR (far inferior to psvr and co)

 

Or just do research for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=first+vr+expierence

Cherry picked reaction videos is not proof ...

Let me use an other example, almost everybody I know agree that playing racing games with a wheel is way better than just a controller. They don't have to be that expensive for probably 50-75 you can find one that does the job but I not have met anyone of my racing fans friends who has one now.  Many on this forum probably bought one of those in the past but don't use it/hardly use it anymore.

I think the outlooks for VR are better but I would not be surprised that some users in the future will be like 'VR is great but I don't really need it'

Yeah thats basically similar to what I said. Selling VR just as a accesory like a wheel is a hard sell, it need (and most likely will be) a standaloen device with superb quality. 

 

Though: I think the gains in terms of quality you get with VR are ALOT more then you get with a wheel. A wheel makes your controls better (kind of similar to a xbox elite controller also). VR is a complete new way to expierence and see stuff and has so much potential.

Cool thing with VR is: Everything you can imagine is possible in VR. All the crazy stuff you would like to be able to do in real life is actually possible in VR. So the potential is basically infinite.

If anything is possible then can VR allow me to experience what something tastes like? What it smells like? how it feels?  VR appeals to just two of the 5 senses so your repeated claim of anything is possible is hogwash as the technology currently stands.  Sorry but this is the type of statement that comes off as fanatical.  As I've stated before I am a person that is interested in VR for some games.
