I don't think VR will ever catch on because it kills the socialization just be using it, and there isn't the 10x factor to overcome this hurdle.

TV, phones, and the internet all caught on because they enhanced social experiences. The TV became something to talk about and experience jointly. Phones allowed communication over great distance and quick access to information. The internet was the 10x factor of the phone.

When we start having VR rooms ala star trek, then it will catch on like fire as it will become a social experience.
