Maybe I should record a playthrough, as I was planning originally, it was just so fantastic playing it like this that I got so consumed and forgot all about recording.. Again, I'm not saying there's no growth coming, nor am I saying I dislike it. But I just don't see any reality where everyone walks into Walmart and Best Buy buying VR like they buy TVs and tablets now for at least 15-20 years, if ever depending on how physical eye/head issues are handled by then. The Nintendo Labo™: VR Kit includes more games and creations than any other Nintendo Labo kit to date. impurekind Yeah, I've always said that VR has the potential to be bigger than both the PC and console gaming market combined.

As long as there's a strap around the head, it's still not mass market ready.

NEStalgia Thing is, you're making a point for VR likely never being mainstream even though all issues you brought up are fixable. Camera calibration is not a thing on Windows MR. There are no cameras to mess with. Headsets will get better at supporting glasses, new types of display technology will diminish lens smudges, cables are already on their way out, headset weight will eventually be comparable to sunglasses, and the anti-social nature is wrong; it's isolating, not anti-social. In fact, VR is the most social technology out there since it connects you across distances to the highest degree. so 4k per eye at the minimum. need 90-100's fps so 2080ti would still be too slow imo. and with 4k per eye you're looking at an expensive headset. add on wigig or whatever they'll need to cut the cords and yeah; it'll be 5-10 years imo.

That debate is just beginning and will grow for some time I think. impurekind Thanks for the link. I won't complain if it happens. 40 million headsets by 2022 is great growth. However, due to the fragmented nature of VR/AR in it's current state, I still don't think 40 million is all that mainstream. I.E., if the entire console market was 40 million consoles, would you consider that mainstream? I'm not saying you're wrong if you would, just elaborating that personally, I would not. That's what I'm saying I have my doubts of in the next 10 years or so - I don't think we'll see a truly mainstream VR/AR platform get as big as one of the other major platforms. roadrunner343 It's no big deal, but, if you have a PS4 and VR, you can hook the Switch up to the VR easy enough, and from there it will play anything from the Switch on the headset.

Instead of using a phone? A phone is analagous to 10,000 years of human tool usage. stones, papers, etc. A device you hold and interact with in a perpetual state. It needs physical input. You interact with your hands. If you shift to no more phones and TVs and everything is in goggles/glasses....you still need inputs. And superimposed reality may still not be desirable to many. Even if it's fun, even if it's useful, even if it's even required in some business situations, will the general public adopt it as a normal facet of functioning day to day? Tech evangelists will always believe yes, but consumer behavior is never that predictable. and no; let's not bring psvr into this. it's a non-starter for only the folks who i guess are blind.
