Content
Grand Theft Auto 5 cost $265 million to create.
VR content is going to be much harder and expensive to create to just equal it.
It also has to work sitting down. No one wants to come home after a hard days work and relax standing.
(And don't even bother with the it will be useful in work environments, high end users often don't even use gui's and prefer text. Even the cliche of buying a house even with a cookie cutter plan the cost to make it 3D and look good from pre existing CAD drawings is probably too much)
