VR is a very small niche market, and even though I am a regular PC gamer, I don't see myself buying into VR any time soon.
I have played multiple games, including HL Alyx in VR on different headsets and after about an hour I just want to take that thing off and do something else. It is not exciting or very engaging. It could be used as a tool for training or something like that, but I don't see it becoming mainstream, at least not in the state it is in currently.
Who knows, maybe at some point some big company comes around with a fresh look at it and manages to make this thing cool, but I doubt it will be Facebook/Meta.

It is still something that you will want to take off your head after some time. Heck, even my headphones (that are very comfortable!) make me uneasy after on hour or so. Plus many people experience slight dizziness that is probably tolerable but not exactly a nice thing to have for entertaining. What they can do is to make a series of continues improvements, not just to hardware but also software - Beat Saber is absolutely amazing, and they are some other nice games, but it still feels like far below expectations.
