I was saying the same thing, and everyone got pissed at me. I wasn't insulting VR. I think it's cool, nut I also think it's a novelty. If I had a VR, it would be sitting beside my PS Move, my 3D Glasses, my Power Pad, Power Glove, etc. It's just not realistic for the MAJORITY of gamers to pay that kind of money for something that requires the user to strap on a helmet and can't be used for long periods of time.

I think all core gamers would like to see VR have its own market and grow into something bigger, but we have to learn to be honest with ourselves, and look at the history of such novelties. We get blinded by hype and hopes, and when someone tells us, to "slow down, let's see what it does first", or present realistic scenarios where a device doesn't shatter expectations, we're the bad guys.

@guitarded77 Yeah I got the same reaction as your self the I must of never used one or I hate sony ect.

I just did not feel the excitement was there for the product and I also fell the pro should of had better hardware to show it off as well. It is each to there own and I the same as your self have got products that have not made the mass market I even got a Zune which for me was a far better product than the Ipod but it is what it is.

@mcstorm,

Yeah, a lot of people I know think it's super cool and they're excited to try it out, but almost none of them are actually interested in purchasing it. There's a "gaming lounge" nearby me where people can pay for an hour of VR or whatever and some people do that, but to them it's akin to an amusement park ride.

I don't think VR will ever achieve mainstream adoption in gaming. People around here will say Kinect was a flop, but it sold far more far faster than VR did. I don't think VR will ever be anything more than a alternative method of gaming and even then it has years to go before it's affordable, comfortable, and we have the hardware to run it effectively.
