True, consoles come bundled with a tv as well, just like all PCs come with a monitor.

Interchangeability of headsets is what's needed. PSVR will be compatible with ps5 alongside a new headset coming out. What stops MS from supporting their WMR headsets on XBox or strike a deal with Oculus or Vive to have their games and hardware connect to XBox.

Anyway, Scarlett better come bundled with a 4K HDR TV otherwise there's no point in buying one :p

I really hope that you're not actually being serious with this analogy lol

Everyone has a TV. Different quality TVs, sure….some people are still gaming at 720p, but at the end of the day they can all still play their games and have a perfectly good time. Barely anybody has a VR headset. A video game console is an accessory to something that's already in your living room. A VR headset is an accessory to an accessory, that costs almost as much as the first accessory, and has a relatively limited use in comparison.

As of today, is it more important for a console manufacturer to have their own VR headset, as it is to have say….an adaptive controller that allows people with various physical impairments to play? Where exactly is Sony on their commitment to make gaming accessible to those people period? 

Plenty VR headsets cost less nowadays than an XBox One X.

There are ways

Now try to play FH4 on your PC with a DS4, impossible! At least one isn't actively sabotaging the use of competitor's peripherals ;)

Anyway I wasn't being serious, however a VR headset also has multiple uses. You can watch tv on it, 3D movies, use it on different platforms and play games while someone else is watching tv.
