I don't really agree with that. If HTC Vive or Oculus want to make this happen they have to sell enough units, this mean their "early adopters" circle has to be wide enough. That's what I say when I call myself an early adopter, I think a lot of people are like me, Oculus/HTC Vive need us to put money into this for it to work, but a lot of us won't because of the price.
Or let put it this way: if I'm not an early adopter, then their early adopters are too few to make VR a success.
Definitely possible. The cheaper an advancement in technology (all else equal), the better that technology is and the larger the number of willing buyers at all stages of market adoption.
