And this is still something I'll disagree with you on.
I only know of a couple. Facebook stated that they were still planning to get 1 billion VR users, just a few weeks ago. Valve is making 3 games for it. Todd Howard believes that it'll take off by the third gen, and that we are currently in the first gen.
VR is doing better than I expected it to, and I think in the next 10 years we'll see the medium explode.
I also disagree strongly on VR games dwindling. Sony is only just now releasing a few big games - Astro Bot (which people have been comparing to Super Mario 64), Deracine, London Heist. Borderlands 2 was just announced today for PSVR. Valve still hasn't shown their 3 VR games. Bethesda is still supporting VR, the way they have. Oculus looks to be releasing their largest titles yet. |
And yet, somehow the VR industry keeps missing projections by large margins. Remember, it was projected to be have $162 Billion in revenue by 2020. Last year they reevaluated and projected it to reach just 51 Billion in revenue by 2020. That's not good.
How can we possible be "in the first gen" when they've been making home VR headsets since the 90's and there's been multiple iterations of VR headsets from Sony, HTC, and Oculus? Is it one of those things where we say "its still first gen" as an excuse for it's mediocre performance? Will it be "first gen" for the next 30 years or something?
