Why? Surely gaming, an activity usually conducted alone that already involves buying hardware, is an ideal place for new hardware tech to gain traction.

True. But chances are once they go the gaming route, people will see it as just another toy and it will never escape from this deep pit of nerd-dom and into the hands of the average joe. See google glass, kinect etc. Not VR by any means but revolutionary for their time.
