I've said all along that vr is closer to soundcards and 3D video cards than a new gaming platform. They're going to be toys for the rich and hobbyists until pcs just start being shipped with vr headsets out of the box.

Lots of hobbyists (or rather say: gamers) were keen on getting a decent soundcard or 3D acceleration card - until it became very mainstream.
