I'm a fan of couch-gaming too, but the market has pretty much spoken clearly on that. The Wii was in hindsight in the same space as Guitar Hero and Rock Band - really cool social experiences that ultimately had no sticking power. Both were a flash in the pan (to the tune of a couple years rather than a couple months, but still very temporary), and both are deader than a brick right now despite attempts to resurrect it. But in any case, agree - VR is just too limited, too niche, and too expensive. Costs will surely come down, but by enough to get a huge install base? The Wii was dirt cheap compared to consoles of its generation, and even it couldn't sustain sales despite having a novel but niche experience. At $600-800 VR has absolutely no mainstream future, at $300? Maybe not even then. The PSVR is IMO the most realistic shot right now at mainstream VR - it promises to be cheaper than Oculus and Vive, and has a dependency on a medium-priced console as opposed to a high-end gaming PC. Even then, the all-in cost of PSVR is likely still going to nearing $1k.
