I hope we are wrong too.

But I (perhaps naïvely) think this is being approached from the wrong direction.

To me, if Apple had launched a new highly limited device but with the Google Glass form factor - then I could see the path to incrementally improve (keep the form factor, and add features over time as hardware progresses).

It's much harder for me to see the opposite - of starting out with the clunky form factor, even if it is 100x more capable.

EDIT: Or I may be thinking from the wrong direction. I could see this device as overtaking existing VR devices like the Rift by far.

It depends on whether "success" here is defined as surpassing the previous best-selling VR headset (very plausible), or as matching the iPhone (much less plausible).
