Oculus and HTC should create more affordable models. Right now, none of the VR headsets can provide an experience that really convinces you that it's real and not just a low-res screen with limited FOV on your face. They are good enough to be fun, but they still are limited first gen VR devices.

Even with all these limitations, the experience still is pretty cool. But people won sink 500 bucks on devices that may end up abandoned in a few years. VR must be cheap enough so people think "ah, whatever, I'm giving it a go". Better prices and a constant flux of quality software. That's the thing saving VR. It's also extremely important to have demo units for people to try it. Unlike regular games, showing footage on TV ads isn't really helping sell VR.
