If that's the case, then the price is fine.  It's novel enough that people will buy it.  But, the issues that inevitably come with splintering a fanbase will prevent it from gaining mainstream traction till if and when it drops to like 150.

I don't feel that Sony ever saw PSVR being mainstream at least not this gen , they know that to do that it has to be intergrated in some form , this gets them in the door gets people used to the concept ,allows them to refine the product and decide how they purpose it going forward , the ideal would be for vr to hit a threshold where there's enough support from both consumers and industry to make it viable to intergrate it fully into PS5/6 , if not that at least enough support to make it worth while to continue selling it as a stand alone.

I actually disagree with your main point. I don't think Sony will ever make PSVR mandatory by fully intergrating it. I think Sony will just treat it as it's own system from here on out.

Refering back to my gut, I imagine that Sony will be more than happy if PSVR sees a 10% attachment rate with the main console this gen, but will want that number to be something like 25-40% with the PS5 and onwards. Those kinds of numbers should be plenty to justify strong support.
