Do you think the PS5 will be a VR only console?

Forcing VR on the console as the main way to play would be worse than anything Nintendo has ever forced on its users imo. Even back with the Wii point & waggle it’s still playing on a television like any other system. VR is a completely different style of gaming that favors standing up and moving around rather than relaxing on a couch. I’ve owned a Oculus Rift and while it was fun, there was a number of times I switched to my PS4/PC/Switch just to sit back and relax on a couch playing a game with a regular controller.

I very likely wouldn’t buy a PS5 if they forced it. Unless they had completely solved every major issue I have currently with VR (motion sickness, combersome wires, headset pricing, lens screen door effect, etc). Which was the reason I returned my Rift. It’s very hard to play a local multiplayer game when each “controller” headset would likely be upwards of $150+.

I believe Sony likey would make PSVR take over for the portable line as the “other pillar” outside of their main console.

I think most people are turned of by VR especially because of Motion Sickness.

In my expierence its just something the body needs to adept to. I got motion sick in the first weeks as well (I think almost everybody will). But it went away after some time frequently playing. 

Best way to do it is to play stationary games first and then increase the intensity of your games slowly. Now a days I can play every VR game with full free movement (Skyrim,Re7, Farpoint) for hours without ever feeling sick. It took me like 1 months of frequently playing to overcome it completly though
