I think it's very much like 3D and will fail to be a wide commercial success for the same reasons.

-With standard 2D monitors, nobody has to wear equipment on their heads.

-People have physical reactions to 3D/VR that they don't normally have in a 2D monitor.

-3D/VR requires each participant to have their own set of gear.

I think there's a lot of hype because many gamers are really excited the technology, and because we don't have any other up-and-coming tech to latch onto these days.
