Yes, "Get a Pro for better VR, then get a PSVR to try out these cool tech demos" isn't exactly a marketable concept.

PSVR also works fine with the normal PS4. Every PSVR demo show yet was running with the standard PS4 model.

For all the work SONY has put into avoiding missteps this generation, they seem to be completely off the mark with VR.

Is that your gut feeling talking or your FUD feeling? PSVR hasn't even launched yet, so we don't know if it will be a success or not.

They probably should've worked with Oculus to make their headsets compatible with PS, just like they are compatible with weak Android phones.

You know that Oculus Rift for PC and Oculus Gear VR aren't compatible with each other, do you? Oculus Rift ain't compatible with weak Android phones.

Or they should've made PSVR PC friendly to expand base of potential customers so they'll get their R&D back.

Of course they are trying to keep PSVR exclusive to the PS ecosystem at first. IF that doesn't work out, they can still add PC support later.

Or just wait for the technology to mature.

Sure, if everyone waits for the technology to mature, there IS no technology which can mature. If every tech company waits for the others to make their move, it will be a Mexican stand-off.

Where is the software?

The hardware ain't available yet. Where was the PS4 software before the PS4 launch? Where was the PS3 software before the PS3 launch? Where was the PS2 software before the PS2 launch? Where was the Wii software before the Wii launch? ...

Why don't I remember one VR game from the many they showed during conferences?

Probably because you aren't even mildly interested in VR. Or because you chose to ignore all PSVR related announcements. Do Resident Evil 7 VR, DriveClub VR, Batman Arkham VR, Farpoint, Robinson: The Journey, Rigs, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, The London Heist, Eve: Valkyrie, Battlezone, Gran Turismo Sports, Star Wars Battlefront X-Wing VR or Star Trek: Bridge Crew ring any bell?

Is this another case of developers not developing software for VR until the user base grows enough but the user base won't grow because there is no software? Poor planning everywhere you look.

There are already more PSVR games announced than there were PS4 or PS3 games announced before these console launches.
