VR gaming is currently stuck in an awkward position in which there are lots of interests from investors and consumers but no quality content to help provide a breakthrough, says Yexi Liao, research analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific. "High-quality games and esports will be key drivers for various segments of the local market as the appetite of local gamers has elevated to quite a high standard," Liao adds.
