Oculus Sales Rift - as predicted...

Business Insider:

Facebook is closing hundreds of its Oculus VR pop-ups in Best Buys after some stores went days without a single demo

Well, that was quick - Broadstuff predictions for Tech 2017, No. 11, Dec 31 2016:

11. AR/VR - Useful bits of AR will become integrated into Mobile and Wearable devices over time, VR will be a niche pursuit until (if) price points come down hugely and even then its not likely to expand much farther than the gaming aficionado market. Resist all blandishments that this is the future, it won't be.

Hate to say "We told ya", but.....

I tend to agree with your prediction.

However, I believe that VR/AR will further expand into the shopping market as well. With big names like Alibaba and eBay early in the game (quite possibly followed by Amazon), this trend has the potential to survive the initial hype.

What’s your take on this?
