AR/VR will be more than niche and go beyond gaming. VR arcades and the cutting edge.

Have you even tried VR? 

I have quite literally been playing VR for decades now.  I was optimistic about it when I first tried Dactyl Nightmare, and it was also pretty cool when i played the Aladin VR game at Disney Quest.  But also Nintendo's biggest flop was the Virtual Boy.  VR has been around for decades now and has been tried in many ways.  Even at it's best it is extremely costly to develop for, and considering Disney Quest closed down, I doubt all the money they put into VR was really worth it.

Then this AR game, Pokemon Go, comes around and becomes a huge success without hardly even trying.  It is so much easier to make money with AR.  The business reality is that AR games are going to be the focus in the future much more than VR games.
