At a recent earnings announcement Capcom said that RE7 was a big VR success and they were going to focus more on VR in the future. Hopefully other large games companies have noticed how well RE7 VR is doing and will give the platform a deeper look.
Personally I've been very impressed with RE7 in VR and it does feel like the "killer app" that VR has needed to create consumer excitement for the medium, at least for hardcore gamers. You're right that horror isn't going to appeal to everyone, though Capcom has a deep library of IPs and constantly creates new IPs. I think they have the ability to create a deep, AAA, VR experience for a wider hardcore gamer audience.
