Do you think it will break through to mass market adoption any time soon though? I love VR, but I still think it is missing something before it becomes most people's go-to entertainment rather than a cool curiosity.
I would love to be wrong about this though, GTA VR sounds like a game changer.
I think it will. Occulus Rift was never really outside the sphere of influence it had, and the PC competitors were expensive and still a niche interest. By adding VR to the Playstation 4, Sony will do with VR what it did with Blu-Ray. Interest grows, it finds itself in homes, prices come down, competitors jump on it, prices drop further, and everyone starts fighting to be better and cheaper.
We'll see this being the 'new console' by 2020, I reckon.
What you're saying makes sense and I do hope you're right, but I think that the isolation involved will still put a huge amount of people off though. You can't enjoy VR with your family like you do with television or movies. And having stuff on your head which shuts out the outside world doesn't sound like a relaxing idea to most people, not to mention the fact that a lot of parents who hate the idea of their kid isolating themselves with games will be even less accepting of something like VR.
Personally I think that something like Daydream is a much more likely route to mass acceptance, seeing as it has no wires and uses a phone (which nearly everyone has, unlike PS4), and that hasn't exactly taken the world by storm, despite how incredible it is.
Until the family are all in the same world, adventuring together.
