As long as Nintendo make a console that is VR ready, then they will be able to start clawing back the market that Microsoft and Sony dominate. Unless they find an entirely different market, which is highly unlikely, then we shall see a repeat of the Wii U - a console that will only appeal to the ever dwindling core Nintendo fans. If you want more detail than that, feel free to pay me $70 an hour.

Lol what a cop out answer, pay me $70 and ill come up with a real answer.

If you are unwilling to provide substance without getting paid for it, then you shouldn't post on forums.

But you've already done all the work, that's how you could guarantee us that Nintendo will be doomed if they don't focus on VR.

If you think it'll take anything less than months of work to come up with what has been asked for, you have no idea what it is you're asking for. 

Go eduate yourselves a bit by giving this overview a read:

Months of work? Get over yourself, hes simply asking for a brief summary of how VR is going to be Nintendo's savior.

You cant even do that so your statement, "Nintendo is doomed if they dont focus on VR" is based on absolutely nothing.

"Get over yourself"? So another critic with no idea of product management. Do you think a product strategy is created in a week? LMAO what's your job, because I'm guessing it's nothing to do with product strategy.

In another post I showed how VR is a rapidly growing industry with positive feedback across different markets. Tell me what Nintendo's strategy should be instead.

You don't even know the preorder numbers for the VR products, so claiming that VR will be a resounding success is premature. You are also assuming that VR gaming will account for the majority of console gaming before too long, but that's once again based on nothing but wishful thinking. You mention 15,000 units in preorder numbers as if it would be a big deal, and do so in a thread about a console (the Wii U) that is a failure for selling fewer than 15,000,000 units. It would be a bad idea for Nintendo to bank on unproven and very expensive technology for their next video game system, especially after stereoscopic 3D for their handheld and the Gamepad for their home console have burnt them so hard this generation. A simple estimate for the costs of a virtual reality system should make it obvious why VR isn't going to be massmarket-friendly within the next few years.

My job doesn't matter. Besides, I could make up anything I wanted. It's not going to add more credibility to any discusson unless it is proven to be true. Hence why what you claim to be means nothing.

Sony's usually pretty good at attracting broader audiences and kids as the generation goes on and their price gets lower in conjunction with the library broadening out.

I think VR could be a casual draw for the PS4 after a price cut or two. VR applications I think are going to be very different from just games, things like VR ocean diving, non-gaming, travel, stories, etc. I think could be popular with casuals and the PS VR is cheaper than things like Occulus and probably will be cheaper than Apple which is also invested big into VR.

Nobody is asking you to put hours of research into this, just give an explanation as to why VR is Nintendo's only viable option.

So VR is growing and has positive feedback, that means that its Nintendo's only option?

Facebook, HTC, Sony, Samsung, LG, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and more have VR/AR headsets that recently released or soon to be released ranging from low-end Mobile devices all the way up to high-end PCs. How will Nintendo VR stand out among a dozen or so competitors?

Edit: just to be clear, im not necessarily saying Nintendo should release release their own VR headset, just that its extreme hyperbole to say they are doomed without it.
