I personally see VR at the moment as a fad in the hype phase. The problem is. The current generation of consoles is to underpowered to deliver a decent VR experience at enough framerate. On the PC side you really need a powerhouse to drive those things. Secondly, there still is the input problem unsolved. Third, I am not sure how good it is for the eyes in the long run if you plug a screen straight in front of your eyes at 3-5cm distance. Then there is the problem that you basically have to wear a helmet to play. VR will go the way of television 3d, at the moment there is lots of press behind it. A load of early adopters will be burned and in the end it will be there but relegated to its nieche for another 10 years with 2-3 games per year supporting it in the long run.
