Price is not only those 2 things.  There are multiple conditions to how a price is determined for a market as I mentioned a few already.  On the PS4, Sony gets their take for each game sold for the PSVR including their own games.  On the PC they get none of that so selling in the PC space really gains them nothing unless they are going to really support it.  So far, Sony has shone no signs of support PC at all and its not the platform they consider bringing their games to.

As for the PSVR working on the PC, is this some typeo of hack.  I could see nothing from Sony and saw something on reddit but it appears hit or miss and you cannot use the move controllers and camera support is wonky.

I'll repeat myself, Sony stated that they make profit on the HW so the HW itself is sold at profit. PS4 was initially breaking even with the sale of one game and PSN+, then break even by itself and now making small profit by itself. So you are trying to make the pricetag of PSVR just have profit with SW sold, which is untrue.

You use KB+M, the camera itself works by tracing, it's a hack of course, Sony isn't supporting it. Yet, PSVR works on PC.

Actually I only found one statement from Sony on the PSVR and they did not say they make a profit, they said they are in the black.  This could mean a lot of things but it does not mean they are actually making a profit on the actual price of the hardware.

As for hacks, that is all well and good but it is a hack.  It has no support behind it from the company and no resources put behind the product on the PC.  This is not the same thing.
