PS VR effect.

And the "Vive is winning" effect... Is there anyone who prefers Oculus' IR over Vive's LIDAR?

Neither Vive nor Rift have been selling very well recently if the Steam Survey is any indication. PSVR numbers are better but I don't think they're that impressive either.

It is still way too expensive. I like VR and enjoy gaming but not enough to replace a PC that comfortably plays everything else I want to play.

Saw a headline yesterday that Oculus is coming out with a $299 headset next year.

According to that rumour that headset is a competitor to Daydream or Gear VR, not the Rift or Vive. (IOW it doesn't have 6DOF positioning). So it'd be good for passive consumption but not so great for games or content creation.

Is it safe to say that VR still has another decade (at least) before it gets any kind of wide spread adoption? I was hyped a couple years ago for VR but it feels like its fizzled out.
