I stopped reading after this sentence. I will get back to it later, but I wanted to clarify this point. Whatever Micheal Abrash thinks we need before general public ("joe six pack") acceptance is not necessarily what I think. I agree that eliminating both motion blur AND stroboscopic motion ghosting will require the frame-rates Michael Abrash suggested, however, I think that the hardware WE HAVE NOW in the form of the Rift DK is SUFFICIENT for a general public audience (many of whom have already ordered their Rift DK with no intent to develop ANY new content of their own).
Taking my recommended frame-rate quotes out of the "eliminating both blur and ghosts" context potentially distorts its perceived meaning. I agree with the technical requirements, but not necessarily with any implied social acceptance aspects, of which Michael may or may not have been talking about. I have not yet read all of his blog posts.
EDIT: Okay, I went back and read the rest of that post. No comments, other than the future both fascinates and frightens me. I just hope we can establish some solid "three laws" precedent into our AI before they take over during the technological singularity, when Nanny Bots will be our masters, and "education" (or re-education) will be carefully orchestrated much more masterfully than today.

Everything I have read from Abrash suggested to me that he is talking about where we need to go with VR, not that the journey is futile or should not be started here, but that we have many problems to overcome in order to iron it out.
Just judging reactions by both gamers and non-gamers to the DK1 and my own personal use, I would say there is no way that a commercial version of the Rift would not be viable at the price of a decent monitor. It will not replace today's flat screen gaming, but there's a lot of room for more entertainment. Who is not welcome to more?
BTW even on Pachters Twitter page he states he is "Occassionally Right". He even changed his estimates of what the PS3 and XBOXONE would cost several times in the last few months. He makes a rough guess. Take it how you want.
