It seems to me that VR is, in some sense, inherently awkward in ways that AR isn't. In either, your real body is in the real world, but VR disables most of the mechanisms that you have built-in to cope with the real world. With VR it'll always be necessary to deal with interruptions from the real world, bumping in to things, looking like a flailing weirdo to Real or Augmented Reality participants... In contrast, AR lets you decide on the appropriate amount of virtual. VR has been around longer simply because technology allowed for primitive VR long before AR became possible. That means we've collectively had longer to think about how it might develop, and so it is easier to imagine uses for VR than with the relatively new AR. My bet is that AR will be bigger than VR, by approximately a factor of 904.
