VR had a great Christmas, and in particular, Oculus Quest 2 had a great Christmas. Another area of concern is that current VR headsets have no parental control tools , and so kids can use them to play horror games or enjoy porn content, and this is not healthy for their wellbeing either. I hope this is going to happen soon.
