1. GPUs certainly have halted in price.

2. Mobile VR will probably be the vehicle for mass adoption. From what I remember GearVR has hit over a million units.

> 1. GPUs certainly have halted in price.

I don't know about that one. The Nvidia 1080 GTX costs here in Europe around 750-800 Euros, that's what previously high end multi GPU cards have cost.

It's still a good price for the performance though.

Yes, but he entry level has halved in cost, rather than the upper levels.

But VR is more GPU intensive than playing on a 1080p monitor. From what I remember a Nvidia 970 GTX was recommended by Valve before the 1080 GTX was released which was pretty near highest end back then.

And many VR early adopters are now buying 1080 GTX to improve the often lacking frame rates.
