> Actually, there were multiple VR technologies released in the 90s. This isn't like being on the groundfloor of some new concept, its like a revival of something old.

A better comparison might be the first iPhone. There were smartphones before the iPhone, but the iPhone is the one we think of today as being the first REAL smartphone.

I'm really sick of fanboy products always being compared to a iphone. The Kinect was an iphone. The Ouya was an iphone. The Apple Watch was going to be the new iphone. Or other high profile kickstarter turkeys like the mprinter, smarty ring, myIDkey, etc.

Gee, maybe we should stop pretending we can all spot the next iphone from this far out?
