Of course not. It’s only a gimmick if Nintendo uses it. Isn’t that common knowledge at this point?

And you thought playing re7 just on the tv was a better expierence? Did you get motion sick?

Do you honestly think any of those games hold a candle to something like Skyrim? Or Resident Evil VII? Or Gran Turismo Sport? Even Farpoint? We've already had these games streamed in front of millions of followers. We've already had huge discounts on Black Friday sales. We've already had heavy advertisements all during the holiday season for PSVR. And what did Sony end up having to show for it. 1.2-1.4 Million in sales for 2017 during a time where over 23 million PS4s were sold. That's about 3% of PS4 owners.

If PSVR only has 4 m in sales by the end of 2018, that would mean it only sold 400-600K more units, with a bigger library, improved hardware, and a much cheaper price tag. If that happens, and the PS4 sells 20-23 million units again next year, that means we're looking at about 4% of PS4 owners owning PSVR. That's not exactly solid growth is it?

and this day will likely come far sooner then most people might think actually. Technology advances sooo fast. Just look at the iPhone.

2017

Now imagine what VR devices might look like in 9 years and how powerfull they will be.

They can be sold at a loss and make profit with software sales later (just like consoles).

I also dont think that the future of VR will be devices tethered to a PC or Console. When its really mainstream, it will just be the headset with everything build in (extreme sharp display, eye trackin, so high performance isnt needed, inside out tracking, tons of content)

Having spend CAD 2500 on a good 4K tv, I can only imagine what a CAD 2500 VR headset would be capable of. I use the headset more than the tv, kinda upside down the headset was only 1/5th of the cost of a tv...

Some standard for VR headsets would be nice. They are display devices in the end with a few build in sensors. A standardized HDMI VR port would help with mainstream adoption. We're just in this weird early phase where the tv manufacturers make their own walled off content. MS has the right idea with the MR headsets, yet they don't have the games, nor does it work with their box (yet) Perhaps some announcement this E3.

Yeah those devices need to be able to run complex software like high end pcs. Something like star cititzen in VR. We arnt there yet, its still awesome what we got, but it will evolve heavily in the next years for sure

The attach rate for PS VR is under 3% and less than that for PC. 

I hope not, I much rather continue gaming on a screen rather than forced to strap a headset to my face. I much prefer the day where we can game with both as options side by side on all games.

I actually dont think this will happen, at least not in terms of cross plattform.

If we look at shooters, players that play with a dualshock wont stand any chance against VR players with Vr guns that just work like real guns. 

Im personally WAY better in VR racing games compared to 2D racing games. 

Dodging blades is alot easier and more intuitive when you just doge them with your body instead of pressing the right buttons.

I do agree though that its hard to completly replace a technology. We got Tvs but Books and radios are still around right? It didnt replaced them, just a new way to get entertained. Though while I would say TVs are currently the primary way of entertainment for most people, VR will be the same in the future. There will still be people around enjoying Tvs, just like there are still people around that enjoy reading books, but VR will be what most people will go into after work (just like they are watching tv now).
