Consumer Rift? It's worlds better than the DKs.
My opinion is that the consumer headsets launching this year already offer too good of an experience for VR to 'fail' this time around. Virtual boy was a miserable experience from what I've heard (I never got to try one). The CV1 changes people's perception of whats possible with computers.
Obviously we are in the early adopter phase of VR where the utility is not obvious to many people but that's always how great technologies start. Gaming will provide enough momentum to keep the industry alive even if a killer non-gaming application isn't found in the short term. We are in the Apple II phase of VR for sure.
In 5 years once there are portable all-in-one headsets that give better-than-current-desktop quality experiences for <$500 and with applications built from the ground up for VR... I can absolutely see every other house in america owning a kit.

I really, truly hope that you are right about this. VR is a technology with such awesome potential. It'll be like living in a William novel. I'm just not yet convinced that this generation of devices will be what actually pushes it into the mainstream. That's the reason I brought up the VirtualBoy; not because the devices have similar technology, but because I'm worried that market performance may end up being the same.
