What would the "killer app" even be, you make it sound like it should be very obvious what it would be, but even knowing exactly what it should be, a killer app is still just luck and the right timing.

The only app that I could imagine bringing mainstream appeal would be a Ready Player One Oasis kind of thing (I've only seen movie, not read the book), but seeing and testing all the social vr apps we have now, the Oasis is the most fantasy thing about that universe.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, my point is exactly the opposite: since we know commercial VR for quite some time and there's no killer app yet, maybe there won't be a killer app at all unless technology improves so much it'll look like magic (like Ready Player One).
