Most gamers want to sit on their fat arse and play games.
3D TV was a gimmick. It just gave a different way to do what you already did (watch TV/movies) and there's very little in the way of actual 3D TV broadcasting to make a 3D TV worth it. 3D cinema and movies have been extremely successful because they're on a totally different scale but most people won't buy a 3D TV just to watch movies in 3D that are also available in 2D.

VR is different. It's not just playing games in 3D. VR games are built from the ground up for VR. The entire experience is new nd you interact with them entirely differently. You seem to be seeing VR as a new iteration of gaming peripheral when it's actually more on par with being the next big tech jump since TV. VR revolutionizes the entire way media of all forms can be delivered; applications are extensive well beyond gaming.

I'm going to assume you've not actually tried Occulus or Vive? Most of the VR naysayers are skeptics who haven't actually tried it yet... It's also entirely possible to play VR whilst sitting down, not every game requires you to physicially walk around; the fact you use that argument makes me fairly certain you haven't tried it yet.
