Why do you think that is an indicator of success? VR has plenty of hype; marketing is not the issue. There are plenty of people who are interested in watching a video on YouTube that won't buy a headset.

Because this is what people in the video game industry are literally looking at as a gauge of success.

Just look how much they court youtubers and streamers. Games are literally built around them in 2018.
