Everyone is talking about the hardware cost, but people seem to have forgotten the software cost, which will have a much bigger impact to the industry overall.

Yes, there will be a few great VR apps and games that actually add to the experience, but what an average VR app is going to be? Making something in VR doesn't necessarily make it better. You have to make a good game/app in the first place. And then there's an additional cost for VR. Now you have one more element to screw up.

Look, even a regular standard PC could be 10x more useful if all the software is better built and run flawlessly. Instead we ended up with half-baked glitchy mess. Making a good VR app won't be easier than this. The profit break even point will be higher because people have a higher expectation. It seems the industry is ill-fated.
