So a bit of a moot point there.But in a realistic sense, I did think that at least 100,000 million households would have some sort of VR Headset by 2019. I base that on the fact that they all became so affordable between Mobile and Console (specifically, anyone who already owned a PS4).I am surprised that VR HMD's continue to sell in the "thousands" instead of the "millions." Well, I guess based on the observations I'm making in this thread... I'm not all that surprised anymore!As you said, we are only in the first stage so far. Looking forward to watching stage 2 begin! Any day now...

I still read these forums but I got rid of my VR. Biggest reason why is because I was really expecting basically VR options within AAA titles, at least by now. It didn't help that we got teased with Alien Isolation, still my favorite VR experience to date. In short it failed to go where I was hoping it would, instead the focus went all on motion controls (gamercising).The AA to AAA 'like' (which are few and far between) games all centered around motion controls just got old, and I went back to flat panel AAA games. I just wanted to chill in a chair (motion control or gamepad) and engross myself in a deep video game, basically what AAA offers. A small part of my decision was the Rift S issues at first, but as they fixed them I still didn't mind that I returned mine. None of it had to do with Rift S specs. I thought it was a fine upgrade, especially for the price. Maybe next gen. Maybe not.basically I lost interest in VR, and that's coming from someone during the DK2 days that swore I'd never flat panel game again. Also, I got so used to VR that being in VR or flat panel gaming felt the same as far as immersion. Weird I know. I don't think VR is going away. With future improvements in hardware and software it should take hold, that is if we can last that long.
