I think they'll have the best luck converting a generation of kids to VR and not consoles. I think people who grew up playing consoles have a hard time really getting into VR because it's so different. I've had a Quest 2 for a couple years and often forget I even own it because it's used so rarely, but my kid loves it and everyone else I know with kids and VR seem to be in the same boat.
For me, the games are so-so but lack much of a "wow factor" to keep me hooked on them. Although, these days I don't play many games at all compared to several years ago.
It's the issues over the immersion, mostly. The bit of eyestrain and the nausea if you're walking around in game that has to be worked around. After the wow factor goes away it's not much better for many games than just gaming on a screen. Flight sim stuff and racing games could be great, but those aren't super popular sectors right now, and trying to play something like COD would be really nauseous. Personally, I want a great boxing game(I know. Also niche). None have been programmed well enough on VR.
