Anything that requires moving as part of the gameplay is probably not going to survive any better than the Wii did. The reality is people are lazy and don't want to exert themselves as a general rule, think about how many people sign up for the gym in January vs actually showing up.

As you mention using VR to socialize. I can say that yes it can fill that role. I can also say that for me I fill that same role with discord. But because of my personal understanding of the importance of socialization vs the lack of communication during covid the question exists "How common is this" also "Does it even matter how common it is so long as you can find a public group to chat with to fill the need?"
