Fully agree, content is key - exactly like Beat Saber and Alyx.
I get the feeling that the OP is just trying to get some reactions by provoking readers - this evening I'll spend some time in VR instead of spending time on a thread that probably never should have been made.

It should have been made. No provocation intended. Vr is the key then the content. Without vr tech you would have content with other sources but not vr.

When a Video recorder was produced years ago, it needed to do something good before anyone would actually buy it. The Video recorder would eventually end up doing two things, which was to recorded television and you were then able to rent films and other content for it. So it basically ended up doing what billions of people wanted it to do and so eventually people bought into it.Now lets talk about VR. The one thing that VR has going for it right now is that it immerses you in games to some degree. But the thing I keep hearing from some gamers is that the visuals just aren't there yet. When the visuals do become acceptable and hopefully a lot of gamers swap their monitor for a VR headset, will these visuals be good enough for the other things that have also been talked about? Things like going ring side and watching a boxing match, or taking a front seat at a concert or a show.When VR can achieve all this, that is when it will sell to billions of people. I can't see how it will sell to billions of people any other way until it achieves all this. I'd like to say this is only my opinion, but having seen a fair few gamers criticizing the visuals in VR, I can't really say this is only my opinion 😛Content might be King, but visuals play a big part in all of this 🙂

Zenbane: You are literally suggesting that people would put on a VR HMD without regard for the software that they would use; it's rather absurd to suggest. Especially since you compared it to pancake gaming which only thrives because of the existence of "killer apps."
Not true. To get the vr experience you 1st need the vr tech then the software to attract people to use it along with the physical attributes to get even more people to use vr. Pancake gaming thrives because 100s of millions of people use it so developers have the money to make many more aaa games and experiences. Vr has in the low millions of users and has a long way to go to before it will be able to thrive at the pancake gaming capacity.
To snowdog:
This is a chicken and egg situation. The tech had to come 1st.
