Virtual reality porn is coming but will mainstream success follow?

Pornographic content could be as instrumental in the VR wars as it was in the VHS age - or it could be a sideshow for weirdos

One of the oldest adages of technology is that where porn goes, success follows. It's helped VHS beat out Betamax; it gave Blu-ray the final victory over HDDVD (although Sony then backed down before HD online streaming provided the nail in the coffin to both formats); and it helped spread faster internet connections, firstly providing a reason to upgrade to dial-up and then to broadband.

So could it be about to provide the same killing blow in the virtual reality wars, before they've even started?
