So you're saying in 30, 50, 100 years you can forecast VR technology'? That sounds arrogant and ignorant. People we're saying touch screen phones were a gimmick and would never hit the masses months before they did lol, but you know what 50 years from now will bring? And again, I don't agree that VR is a mass market thing, but its not going anywhere either.
What does that mean? It gives it time to improve even further.
Just look at the last 3 years. The Quest 2 allows you to play hi-end PC games with no wires at all for $300. And, it's not just cheaper, it's smaller, far more powerful, and many more games. Oh and btw, its been sold out off and on since its announcement. Quest 1 was sold out much of its lifetime.
Kinect, 3dtv, none of those devices ever got huge hardcore exclusives projects like Half Life, Metal of Honor, Splinter Cell, Asgard's Wrath, Walking Dead either, and this is all within a year or two. Kinect and the others couldn't manage that in a lifetime. It was all one year surge and then death, so, I just have yet to see anything that aligns with VR's growth. Anything that is slowly growing over 5 years isn't something you can just toss out of the equation in decades to come. VR tech is moving incredibly fast.
VR has come so far that people are used to it getting big exclusives you can't play outside of VR. Just imagine hearing the phrase "half life, exclusive for Kinect." It just sounds ridiculous. But VR? Oh, okay, I can see how that could work. People are just slowly understanding that its a part of the industry now. AAA devs will be working on VR, nothing you can do.
