How much XXX games are available? Maybe the price isn't that stiff, all things considered.

I think this is a very good point. I don't know how much people spend on porn, but I think porn is a massive cornerstone of the internet judging by all the jokes about it, and the internet is a massive cornerstone of humanity. In that perspective, only a small portion of that population would be needed to make VR wildly successful.

Unlike 3D TV I think there's a (small) market of hardcore gamers that will embrace 3D gaming. Where the 3D TV is mostly impractical and doesn't add that much to your viewing experience (it is nothing like going to a cinema and watching 3D movie), the Rift provides a very different experience from traditional 2D gaming. It is not an experience for everyone and many will be put off by the price tag, but there are almost certainly those that will think it "is the only way" to game.

I don't know, that sounds like 3D to me exactly. The question really seems to be more will there but a sufficient market to justify costly technology with so many caveats?

The answer is "probably," but still.
