They don't compete with monitor or tv. VR is all about immersion. When I wear the Oculus Rift, I'm inside the game, I'm afraid of hitting wall or if I'm too close to a ridge. My field of view is filled by the game, I'm INSIDE the game. If you talk to me when I'm inside, it's weird, the voice is coming from nowhere. You can't reach that with a monitor.
I agree that it's still a niche and it will still be a niche as long as we doesn't have better hardware. That's why Oculus VR haven't released a real product and others are working on other system, like the Omni.
