There are multiple factors that make headsets a niche market, which discourages developers from making games, which feeds back as one of the factors against buying headsets. Games aren't going to break the cycle. Even if major developers all released VR games, it wouldn't sell enough headsets to justify their expenditure and it would be sustainable. It will remain as an enthusiast market.

The hardware needs to become cheap and ergonomic enough, with a purpose outside of games, to get it to the point where there's a large enough market to justify making games. I predict it will ultimately be a device with the form factor of glasses that replaces smart phones, but the technology won't be there for years. This development needs to be done at a loss, and it seems to be what Facebook is attempting.
