No... just as Blu-ray players are sold primarily to people with TVs but they're not considered a peripheral. MOVE adds to the PS4 experience, PSCamera adds to the PS4 experience but PSVR is a completely separate experience that requires a PS4 to run it. It's not a peripheral (as Sony have said) it's hardware in its own right (as Sony have said).

I think that´s more marketing talk from Sony, they wan´t to push it as a standalone hardware, because I´m guessing marketing it as a peripheral lessens it´s "value" in people´s eyes.

And yes, a BluRay player is a peripheral to TV´s, since a TV functions perfectly without it but a BluRay player is pretty useless without a monitor :).

 

And a VR HMD is more akin to a TV than to a bluray player...
