I wouldn’t say it’s mainstream just because there are a few affordable options. It’s still a niche subset of gaming in general.
And guess what? A fancy piece of hardware isn’t going to make it happen. It needs software! Part of the reason VR is stagnating is because it doesn’t have any good fucking games. You’ve got a ton of shit that is no more than a 5-10 minute experience you’d check out once and then never again. You’ve got one, maybe two, actually good games that take full advantage of what VR can do. And that’s it. What good is a VR headset if there is nothing to fucking do in it? Which is exactly what sucks about the Vision Pro. Thing is $3500 and has next to nothing to run on it (like even less than a Quest or PSVR) lol
