the company i work for has been around for 20 years - never sold to a single consumer in all that time. It is the home users who are joining industry.
Well, consumer VR has been available for at least 23 years. 🙂

@Hiro_Protag0nist - You can't get away from the fact that it would have very limited use as a business only device. And if you were to build VR Arcades for a bigger audience, then it would only make people want a VR headset for home use, which is why Xbox/Playstations consoles came along and took over arcade sometime ago now.
Now VR is out there in homes you can't just reel it all back in and pretend it didn't happen. Oculus would be silly to turn it's back on a consumer device. The other companies might be turning to businesses because they know Oculus/HTC lead the way in the consumer market and there's no where for them to get a foot hold in it.

....I'm really interested to hear what the sad news is going to be? I think if VR was just going to be sold to businesses from now on then it will definitely die a death. Expensive VR headsets could be made before Oculus Rift was ever mentioned, so why didn't businesses take advantage of them back then?

There's no point in VR ever leaving the consumer market now, because it would only return in a few years time. Things like 4K screens will become the norm in a few years time and the hardware to run it will cheap enough to buy..
