One indication that Vive's are still being moved is that Tilt Brush ownership continues to increase. It has been a bundled title since day 1, so it can be used a proxy for trend of Vive market growth. Conversely, Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraption were removed from the bundled games this past month and their activations have flattened. |

Found an interesting article published back in 1987 about how people viewed home computers and video games as a fad. Interesting how much of the rhetoric back then seems to be mirrored with today's VR market. ;D https://archive.org/stream/COMPUTEs_Apple_Applications_Vol._5_No._2_Issue_6_1987-12_COMPUTE_Publications_US#page/n65/mode/2up Also, NY Times article from 1985 on how laptops are just a fad: http://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/08/business/the-executive-computer.html |

As the NES proved back then all you need is one successful piece of hardware with the right software to set the bar. After that everyone else will follow suit and it will get better and take off. The question is what will it be and when. PSVR looks promising but I wont be rushing out to buy it. |

Read a AMA thread today with a PSVR programmer that talked about how PC sales of VR have taken a total ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Guess he must have been wrong, too. :dunno |
