Cars didn’t give people migraines or require custom lenses to use.

They also get you from point A to point B and without them you had no other choices beyond a horse, bicycle or paying someone else to produce something.

VR gives you a headset you have to wear that is uncomfortable and the end result is that you see the game you’re playing on the screen in front of you.

We already have screens in front of us that we play games on.

This is more like a motorcycle in America. Nobody uses them really, so you have to really commit to it to get use out of it. There’s loads of downsides and the upsides is that it can be fun from time to time. They can technically take you from point a to point b, but odds are you’re gonna want something with walls and a roof when weather sucks or when you need to do something serious like haul some supplies for a home project. Just like how certain things are just better with a mouse and keyboard or with a controller.

Your car analogy fits computers or smartphones better. We already have those, so an accessory computing thing is a frivolous add on for most anything you’d want to do with it, but it can be fun if it works for you. Sure, in Asian countries bikes are cheaper and more common so everything is more suitable to them, but I suspect they will never catch on here to the same degree…. Like VR.
