Was the hype for move anywhere near PS VR though? It was pretty obviously just a weak attempt to capture some of that casual Wii market. Vita first party support is dead because the system flopped sales wise, although that's not a day 1 purchase I regret. PS VR looks like it will sell very well - it's much cheaper than other headsets and I've actually heard from a lot of people that they prefer PS VR to the rift or vive. Sure the cost will go down but as with anything that's the price you pay to play early.

I see a lot of people saying VR will be a fad like motion controls but I don't really see the connection. Motion controls replaced the controller, VR is more like a new type of screen. It could flop but PS VR is way more promising than anything you mentioned there.
