    Not to mention, that VR still has so many problems. The headset won't fit everyone. (I can't wear one period). People still get motion sick even at 60fps, not all gamers want their peripheral vision completely blocked while playing a game, some reports of migraines from the headsets, and on and on.

    I will honestly be surprised if vr catches on as anything more than a niche after a few years. I don't think our bodies deal with the sensory issues well which will keep it from ever being completely mainstream.

    The problems will be ironed out with time. The root cause of them is that we're still learning how to best handle certain things in VR and it's all a massive learning process both in terms of the hardware and the software. VR can and likely will go mainstream eventually but it's probably going to be a few years before we have a firm understanding of how things need to be handled to trick the brain without inducing sickness for some people. For most people the current hardware is more than enjoyable though. I personally have absolutely no problem at all with the Vive and a few of the games have been completely mind blowing.

    The real thing holding it back from going mainstream at this point is just the price. The Oculus and Vive are the only headsets that are worth getting as they are technically superior in every single way by a factor of hundreds, but they cost as much a brand new gaming PC. The PSVR has a solid shot at changing that but THAT really depends on Sony having a solid lineup of launch titles that aren't just gimmicky arcade games.

    You are correct though that as it stands right now there's no way SE would risk developing for it.
