2020 could be the first year when a huge performance leap will be viable and cheap: Zen2 or even Zen3 for CPU cores, mature, powerful and cheap Navi tech or even Next Gen for the GPU (if not delayed Next Gen will already be there, but it's not sure if models with the right performance, consumption and price for consoles will already be available), and last, but not least, maybe by then RAM manufacturers will have caught up with additional demand due to cryptomining, or maybe the whole cryptocurrency bubble will have burst, making RAM dirt cheap thanks to sudden excess supply.
By then the necessary power to do VR at at least 1080p@60fps per eye will be commodity, and most probably even 1440p will be cheap enough, so for VR to finally become mainstream it will only be matter of good headsets and well devised input devices to exist and be cheap enough, and above all of SW making good use of the available HW resources.
