I’d get VR googles if I were really hardcore into flight sims and had a modern flight sim that I were willing to sink a lot of time into. I think that they’re legitimately a good match there. And they compete favorably both in price and performance with some of the alternatives that people have used in the past for that, like a wall of monitors and eye-tracking systems.
But I don’t think that they’ve met the threshold for being worthwhile for most people in most other genres.

There are a lot of VR centric games out there on other platforms. Yet demand for those VR systems are also very low.
VR in its current form doesn’t seem to be worth it and the additional AR capabilities don’t seem worth it either.
