I'm long-term bullish on VR, if you mean having a HMD designed to provide an immersive 3D environment. Like, I don't think that there are any fundamental problems with VR HMDs, and that one day, we will have HMDs that will probably replace monitors (unless some kind of brain-computer interface gets there first) and that those will expand do VR, if dedicated VR headsets don't get there first. Be more portable, private, and power-efficient than conventional displays.
But the hardware to reasonably replace monitors just isn't there today; the angular resolution isn't sufficient to compete with conventional monitors. And I just don't think that at current prices and with the current games out there, dedicated VR HMDs are going to take over.
I do agree with you that there have been several "waves" by companies trying to hit a critical mass that haven't hit that point, but I think that there will ultimately come a day where we do adopt HMDs and that even if it isn't the first application, VR will eventually be provided by those.
VR is expensive and bulky.
