Failure is entirely subjective, and too blanket a term to use.

It hasnt made in the traditional gaming market. No one has gone from a high spec PC to using VR as their main machine, because AAA games arent on that platform.

I see the Oculus as a Wii type machine. Its for party games, its for experiences. My son loves the Oculus for big group, social games where people can be annoying together all over the world. I have family members who dont play AAA games that have an oculus for the different experience games.

I played Alyx and the Wolfenstein game, and they were really good, but wont replace my PC. Maybe if I tried the desktop thing and it replaced a monitor I might get on, but otherwise it wont replace current machines.
