I think people are holding VR to an unreasonably high standard. All technology needs time to mature and ultimately hit an optimal level. People should be happy we get to experience this platform now, rather than waiting "5 - 10 years" for something mindblowing. Its a process like anything else. How bad was the PS3 launch not only in terms of software available but supply shortages? It recovered and became a great console experience, and now the ps4 is selling like crazy.
Remember Sega CD? I do. I was so amazed at FMV at the time, even though games like Night Trap etc were garbage, at that time it was new and interesting.
We are at the same place with VR. No one is forcing consumers to pony up 600 plus dollars for an experience you dont deem worthy. But some people like to get to the party early so to speak, opting to fimiliarize themselves and be willing to deal with the fact that things probably wont start getting interesting till later.
Obviously the VR market will have some struggles and have to overcome hardware issues and lack of quality/immersive/replayable content out the gate, but that doesnt mean we should all just say "ill come back in 10 years when VR is wholly immersive and has 1000 awesome games/apps there for consumption."
