Eh, it'll take time for the tech to get there. I think realistic (enough) robots will get there faster than truly immersive sense based VR.

But I'd agree that end game is more likely to be where people go in the long run. Plugging themselves into a fantasy in full will be very appealing compared to the real world alternative. Especially if we master "inflicting pleasure" through some sort of headset directly.
