There's just too many edge cases in VR for it to be a real platform. Movement is hard, there needs to be a lot of space around a person, form factors aren't great for the hardware, there's more graphical requirements, etc.

It'd legitimately be easier to fit an arcade cabinet in my house than space for proper VR play.
