It's certainly only a gimmick. Its been available almost 10 years in Europe, and no one uses it. Its inconvenient since you have to stare at your cell phone, more expensive, and you don't more out of the conversation anyway (Almost at least).
Most modern phones support video calls, and I don't know of a single person that uses it.

Can't speak for others, but I've been using video calls a lot recently. I'm consulting on designs for products being modeled abroad, and we've been talking and showing samples via video. This type of communication would suck otherwise. Which is easier: describing a design or showing it? I sent some samples initially, for 160 bucks in one small package via Fedex. It arrived two days later. Our Skype calls are free and immediate.
I've also been house hunting for someone abroad. With video, I show the places.
Other people probably have their uses -- some fun, some business.
