Spoiler for The scene:

Based on the history of the development of the VR devices, the first VR device that was invented in 2020s is "NervGear".

The anime already proclaiming that AW is the future (or at least in the same universe) of SAO???

Spoiler for Response:

That wouldn't be particularly surprising. From my admittedly limited knowledge of Accel World, there's nothing that would actually contradict it being the future of SAO's world. Pretty much all the ground work for Accel World's tech, is in SAO.

You only really run into problems when you start trying to claim that specific characters in Accel World are connected to specific charaters in SAO.
