All the VR graphics I have seen look like something from 1992. Definitely not ready for prime time. When they can give me Skyrim graphics, then we’ll talk. But that may have to wait for quantum computers.

I don’t think so. I remember 1992 pretty well.

You clearly haven’t seen games like The Climb. Absolutely fantastic, and pulse-pounding.

I have Google Earth on Oculus, it is simply astonishing. Many cities/locations are full texture-mapped 3D, from satellite data. There’s also 360 degree 3D video. I just bought “Elite Dangerous”, the graphics are very much not 1992 :)

These units all suffer from poor resolution and worse, the screen door effect. For the price of hardware and the unit itself, until they move past theses things, I don't see sales really bumping.
