I'm starting to think Oculus is becoming a gimmick. It needs success in order to be successful. That's tautology to an extent, but it's really that simple: If it hasn't had any success, it's not successful, and success is nowhere on the horizon. It's a cool experience, to be sure. And maybe someday it will be mainstream enough where everyone has an Oculus. But that day seems very far in the future.

How can it be a gimmick if it hasn't even launched a consumer version yet?

  You misunderstand, it's a gimmick UNTIL there's a version consumers will buy.

Have you tried one? It is already very immersive and only going to get better. Within an hour of trying it for the first time a few weeks ago I had a fountain of ideas of possible uses for it and startups that would develop around it. I think it's going to be a whole new section of the tech economy.
