| Leynos said: VR has been coming in and out of popularity for over 30 years. It's too inclusive still somewhat pricey and clunky to be anything but niche. It's limited. It can be fine as a niche thing it's not going to be the next BIG thing. That was supposed to happen in 1991. Remember VR Cafes? I do. Once companies realize it's a niche product with limited appeal and target that niche audience with the right expectations. It can do fine. 2016 was another boom period of novelty but the novelty wore out for most. It's not going to die either way. It's just not going to take over console phones or PC or even a big market share. |
But it could though, it has the potential. If they could get it as small as swimming goggles or even sun glasses, wireless and put actual games on it. It could take over. Look at the success of PlayStation portal, people want devices like that and you could play your games on a big virtual screen also if it was a hybrid AR device. The attach rate with them is actually insane, like 7 fold normal consoles last time I checked. It only takes one generation to adopt it. It's just the tech isn't there.
