| Leynos said: Eh no. VR has been around since the 80s. VR isn't a format. VR will always be niche from price to wearing equipment and it's more limited than regular gaming. It will be an option but never the main focus as long as those other factors remain. |
Eh, there will likely be a time in the current decade when "wearing equipment" means wearing something about as heavy as swimming goggles. Games could be played wirelessly without much loss with Wifi 7 coming next year, supporting up to 46,120 mbits per second. Hell even now many people like playing over Air Link despite the image quality loss. And the hardware itself to slim down headsets has already been invented, just a matter of economies of scales, and a few generations of advancement doing its thing.
By the end of this decade I wouldn't be surprised if VR headsets are about as cumbersome as an NReal Air.
And with more sales, price can come down via the economies of complementary goods.
Unlike the various gaps between the 80's and 10's where nobody was working much in this space, the current market is highly competitive and likely will be for the foreseeable future.
