VR gaming is the very definition of 'niche':

- VR only works well for some (fairly unpopular) gaming genres, like hardcore flight- and car-racing simulations

- it's expensive besides the headset you need a powerful gaming PC at a time when the majority of 'normal' people just use their mobile phone for some light gaming

- wearing a VR headset for more than 30 minutes becomes really uncomfortable

- the new sensation quickly wears off, same as motion controls, everyone is back to gamepad, or mouse+keyboard

- even though VR is available for mobile phones, it's not common to hang around in public with a VR headset on
