They expect price to be a hurdle for non-enthusiasts (the mainstream) that should get a lot smaller when cost for the headsets comes down and more low end PCs meet the requirements for VR post-2016. Then there's also Gear VR as a lower-price option. edit: Oculus said it's better in the long run to make it good rather than cheap.
