Oculus, Vive, and PSVR are just the providers of this generation of VR. There's still room for a company with good customer support, a good product, and a functional supply-chain to capture most of the VR market.

The current VR companies are dysfunctional, so anyone making something as good as the Vive, but with functioning customer service, and available replacement parts, will dominate the market.

This is great news! I really want to see Imagination's tech go somewhere, and raytracing is just the thing to take VR to the next level of realism!

The current VR companies are dysfunctional, so anyone making something as good as the Vive, but with functioning customer service, and available replacement parts, will dominate the market.

It's still early days, IMO. These are new companies (or new to this space), selling their first gen of a complex product, that's probably yet to even make a profit.

I think it'd be wise to have a bit of patience. Nobody is forcing you to buy into this generation (hopefully).

If you can't wait, then try to remember there's a reason people coined the term "bleeding edge". Take some pride in being a pioneer, and wear your scrapes and bruises like badges of honor. Years from now, you'll be telling people about the "bad old days", when VR first became popular.
