Because there's a market for it. Do you think sony will allow their VR headset to be used on PCs or with porn sites/porn games? I don't think so. Sony might with porn in certain countries like japan. haha. There's gonna be a flood of indie VR games through steam and crazy amounts of mods. I think VR gaming may become more popular on consoles than on PC but more money will be made through PC with porn and steam. 

Vive may alter their pricing after seeing what happens with OR and PSVR. Personally, I don't care if VR is high end because it's just jacks up the prices. I rather just be able to play some games and watch some porn without my wallet being utterly empty.

What kind of a market though?, sounds practically dead to me with all the info we're getting.

I don't think Sony has plans to use PSVR on PC either, for themselves maybe but I don't think they want to go far with adult entertainment unless they are ok with being related to it.

Well consoles are still popular products for the casual folk so yeah I wouldn't think different about PSVR, I just feel that with all we're hearing that PCVR is going to be Dead on arrival.

There is always a reason for some products to be jacked in price, I mean we do have those luxious sports cars, premium setas on planes, premium places to eat, I know we can get regular this or that but premium and better tech exists for a specific market of people. Yeah there are some products that charge you a lot (like Apple) despite not being objectively betetr than everything else, I feel with VR that there will be some differences in tech, if one is expensive than the other but doesn't do next to anything better than the cheaper one then they have to sort out the priceing sooner or later, usually revisions tend to play into that factoring at some stage (which is why I'm not investing until 2-3 years from now to see if VR becomes more and more common with cheaper revisions and improved tech).

I think that you're being a tad pessimistic about it. VR is more likely to succeed on PCs than it is on consoles honestly. Mainly because video games will never get as naughty on a console compared to PC which is basically unlimited in that regard.  For VR to succeed on consoles, it needs a steady supply of compeling games. That's also true for VR with PCs but it's easier for anyone to make a game for PC and makes mods for 'em.
