Will the PS5 be the next Wii?

Could the PS5 be entirely built around creating a cheap system designed for Morpheus support? Do you think Sony could market it to be 'the Wii of VR' (the Wii ofcourse having been 'the Wii of motion controls') rather the being 'the Xbone of VR' (the Xbone ofcourse being 'the Xbone of user monitoring interfaces').

No, because Sony just showed in their four gens that building a box easy for 3rd parties to support, with the best power-price ratio is their game, and they are usually very succesful with that.

Expect basically a normal box like PS4 with more storage and more power. A update DS controller as usual and new OS. Slap a decent price point (likely 400 bucks again) and pack it with a HDMI cable, power cord and USB cable. PS5, that's it. A bundle with VR (Morpheus 2) only if Morpheus is a big hit on PS4.

Their approach isn't oriented by gimmicks, they go for the power-price route and focus on gaming.

exactly Sony has shown they like the gimmicky stuff to be kept to peripherals.  They provide the gaming hardware then if you want the other stuff you can get it attached.
