Perhaps, but personally I don't see VR ever taking off in its current state outside of a few useful industrial/business uses and the like; I tried a recent headset recently (one with the fingers thingy) and it's fun, sure, but as an alternative - even a very limited one - to the real world ? they suck quickly IMO. Perhaps for video games - and I'm not even sure about that - but watching a concert or having a meeting with them ? fuck no.
Give it time, even at an estimated 5 million Facebook Quest units sold, we're still pretty early in the VR tech adoption cycle; Viable consumer VR wasn't even really a thing until about 10 years ago. As the tech improves, becomes lighter, more sensory captivating, AR tech will as well and between the two we'll end up with a considerable segment of the population spending most of their time in a curated echo chamber under control of some major corporation (probably fb/meta).
