A game that can ONLY be played on PSVR that looks so amazing I have to have it. Most of those can be played on regular PS4, so I'll just play them there. There's no obligation to play them in VR. If Breath of the Wild had been on PS4, I'd have gotten it there. But it's not. It's only on Switch and if you hate yourself Wii U, so I had no choice but to buy a Switch to play it. That's a killer app. Something great you have to buy the hardware for.

I know this is your stance, and what you are looking for, but I wanted to chime in with some thoughts. I am not really sure how to get across what I want to say, but I will try. 

From my expereince playing games in VR is the single biggest jump in the history of this indursty. Even games like RE7 or Driveclub which are possible to play on a standard display are massively enhanced by VR. The immersion, sense of scale, field of view, awareness, and so much more are either cranked up, or offering an expereince completely impossible on traditional displays. As I said, that applies to every game I have played in VR. 

I know not everyone will have the same feelings, but for me, after playing games in VR, I really don't like going back to traditional displays. I have a 75" 4K HDR screen, that cost me 10K, and a VR Headset that cost me $500, and in the last year I have got much more joy and long lasting memories from PSVR. 

Looking forward, I have much more excitement for games in VR. Even a title like Gran Turismo Sport which is very limited in the VR department, my interest in the game lies with how that expereince is. In fact, I most likely will only ever play the VR portions. Beyond GTS, I really want the ability to play games like God of War, The Last of Us Part II, Far Cry 5, and pretty much all future titles in VR.

To me going back and playing games on traditional displays now that VR is here is the equivilant of playing games on an old Black and White TV after HD became a thing. Or, playing games with mono sound when we have stereo or surrond sound. I could play horizan in B&W with mono sound, but it is much better in Checker Board 4K HDR with 9.2ch Surround Sound. Similarly, I could play RE7 in 4K, but it is much better in VR.

I get where you're coming coming from, but I disagree. When I used the PSVR, it just felt like I had a 3DS against my face and it gave me motion sickness. I only tried Driveclub and whatever the spaceship demo was, but it didn't nothing for me at all.
