Re: VR will fail just like 3D TVs, home 3D printers, and smart watches have.

Also terrible analogy as all those technologies were massively successful, and one was obsoleted, whereas OP examples are all technologies which were heavily marketed in tech press, yet failed all meaningful market penetration.
Additional: VR isn't so much a discrete technology as it is ... Strapping a phone to your face.
