It's actually the complete opposite. Traditionally the lifeblood of a console is 3rd party support. 

You'll be hard pressed to find many successful consoles that are lacking strong 3rd party support, with the one anomaly being the Wii.

The stronger the 3rd party support, the more viable the platform.

 

It's actually the combination of both. VR will play an additional roll in the future.

VR has nowhere to go without more content, and consoles don't exactly have a sound history of mass adoption of expensive peripherals. Only 2% of PS4 owners have opted for VR, so it's got a ways to go to be a significant factor.
