I doubt VR will hit the average Joe mainstream anytime soon. It could hit the gaming mainstream when omni-directional treadmills drop in price. If your gaming rig + VR headset + omni-directional treadmill drop to affordable levels and games are developed to use them, it might really kick off.

A 4k€ VR headset ain't gonna do shit.

Not everyone has space for an omni-directional treadmill though. If you have a dedicated "gaming cave", then it could be a good investment if there is enough support from VR games.
