I still struggle to see how they are going to convince your normal customer to buy one.
Right now, even if it was launching at $500, whilst they would sell millions most people simply won't want something like chunky strapped to their face with a short battery life and can't move around much.
It's a cool entertainment device, and there are interesting things you can do, but I just don't buy that with the form factors, battery life, restrictions in place there is a mass market for many many many years yet.
And I'm speaking as someone who loves VR.
It's almost impossible to convince people with a TV, Smartphone, computer/Laptop that they need this.
