This is for sure too expensive for casual gamers. And probably too expensive for serious gamers - at least until there are some serious VR games. By the time that serious VR games arrive, the price of a quality VR headset - with built-in GPU - will probably be around $400.
This will remain a small niche market until mainstream killer apps arrive - and those won't be games. The obvious killer apps are a) immersive major league sports, b) immersive animated movies, c) immersive porn. Then the tech gets cheap enough that useful killer apps will emerge (education, history, etc.)
