I'm not sure why everyone thinks that VR is going to be "hugely popular" in two years or less when PS5 launches. PS VR sales are actuallly down year on year, and it's only in year 2. Oculus has cancelled the Rift 2 and is focusing on cheaper, self contained solutions. HTC just replaced the Vive with the Vive Pro which costs $1100 for the headset, controllers and sensors.

Even at it's peak, less than 5% of Playstation 4 owners have bought a PSVR. That's not exactly the kind of numbers that would encourage me to incorporate VR-specific integration in my next console, considering it's more likely than not that most PS5 users won't ever use it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Sony scraps VR entirely with the PS5 and only offers backwards compatibility with the current PSVR headset.
