VR needs to become much more consumer friendly before it can really take off. A long way to go still.
I finally tried out VR for the first time recently. It was only a Samsung mobile VR unit.
What would they need to change to PSVR for you to consider it consumer friendly? It is literally just plug in and play.

Tries faux VR on a phone, dismissed the whole concept.
What's really weird is that my mobile setup has a 1440p screen but far worse screen door effect than PSVR.
Headset VR will never have mass adoption.
Holograms viewable through independent glasses or a Full on Holodeck are the only things akin to VR that will bring in droves of people AKA the casual market.
Direct cortex stimulation, although probably far off for consumer use, is the end goal and will be universally adopted when the price becomes feasible.
I dunno about plug and play. I needed to look at a youtube video to set up all those wires.What would they need to change to PSVR for you to consider it consumer friendly? It is literally just plug in and play.

Just a fad like motion controls.
I was mildly interested in VR before I had tried it. Then I got a free Samsung VR with my Galaxy S8. Played with it for 10mins and now I couldn't care less about VR.
Come back to me when VR actually feels like I'm inside a computer game pls.
I finally tried out VR for the first time recently. It was only a Samsung mobile VR unit, and obviously not as good as the real thing like HTC Vive, but at least I was able to understand the concept.
Still a gimmick.
I'm glad that companies are still making some cool experiences foe the people that invested but it won't achieve mass penetration or become a major studio's primary focus any time soon.

VR is too expensive, both to buy and to develop games for, and will never draw in enough of a market to make it successful. Kinect will have been more successful in the end.I view VR as a viable genre of gaming into itself. The people thinking it will take over traditional are over thinking it. It's not meant to take over but to supplement. It can exist in its own way like a separate genre.
Poor showing at the E3 press conferences. Aside from Moss, Sony's VR lineup was uninspired. Years-old Bethesda games are mildly interesting, but clearly meant to turn a quick buck and are obviously less cool than original content.
I was at E3 and had the chance to stop by Survios's booth and talk to one of their reps for a bit (didn't get to play anything as the line was already hours long as is the story of E3 this year, but I digress). They have Raw Data, a really cool, polished shooter already under their belt, and an innovative looking VR platformer/racing game called Sprint Vector in the works. There is definitely some interesting stuff coming out on the PC side of VR, just not from the major, established devs and seemingly nothing on consoles.

I want PSVR but I don't have the space for it. Do you need basically a full room to use it? How many games use just the regular controller and is it comfortable for users with glasses?
I loved what I saw at E3 for VR games but I'm worried I'll be stuck with a super expensive extension I'll hardly use.
I don't feel threatened in any way. I wish I would though because that would mean that there were must have titles there.Honestly, How could you compare the launch titles of last year that have been built over a long time to the post year one. I thought the conference showed an healthy amount to titles for what is still a technology in its preliminary stages.
I am also growing increasingly tired of this constant bashing of people that don't own a VR headset, yet feel the need to go into all VR threads to claim "it's on life support", "it doesn't interest me one bit"' "it's like motion controls", etc. Are you feeling threatened by change? Are you really planning to spend the rest of your life playing the same old FIFA and Call of Duty in 8K, your ass on the couch with a revised version of the same controller you had for 25 years now?
