Hmm it's 4 years later now and I lost interest in 4K lol. What does it need for VR at a decent resolution is the question now :)
16GB ram will be plenty as those 4K textures won't be necessary.

Actually for VR we will want even higher resolution textures, because you can zoom in on everything. Muddy low res textures, will be very illusion breaking when the graphical fidelity and resolution is enhanced. 32GB of RAM is the absolute minimum the next gen consoles should have. 24GB for Games, and 8GB for the OS, Multitasking, Apps, Streaming, etc. should be good enough to make TV gaming look a bit prettier, and make a signifcant leap in VR. 

Eventually yes, but I don't think anything higher than 4K headsets will be viable for ps5, and spread over 110 degrees that compares to 720p in the center at the very most. Probably less as that likely won't be 4K per eye. Besides expecting next gen to render native 4K x 2 at minimum 60fps without any hitches is still a tall order. Memory speed will need to go up a lot as well to use 24GB effectively or those high res textures will just be a bottleneck.

Yet to future proof for a ps5 pro, 32GB would be better. Or perhaps 16GB for games, 8GB for the OS. That's still over 3 times more than games get now.
