Once 5G become mainstream and a lot of country using it, and cloud will be normalizes and at that time people will able to stream games and not worrying to buy hardware or consoles . The reason why i relating cloud and VR is because both are fundamental future platform. people will just buy VR device and running it through streaming and cloud device. Also 5G are also important for wireless VR head set so it will not be dependent on wire anymore.

Probably is to arrogant to say SONY save VR but i can pretty much say that SONY contribute a lot to bring VR on mainstream or is just a semantic and can be debatable. The important thing VR is not a gimmick , far from what people said on it first impression. Also SONY also contribute to introduce consoles gaming to VR , bring alot of potential and cheap price and easy and accessibility.

I am agree with your narration but SONY is not alone, even a failure Virtual Boy bring hopes and dreams, kinnect, Wii mote and Eye Toy bring a step to the motion tech maybe you can argue with me. But everything has contribution. But I hope SONY will be step a head to bring VR to next level, and bring more people to enjoy VR and other company will follow.

VR will always need standalone hardware, either built into the headset or PC/console in close range. You can not stream VR games, it needs minimal latency. Streaming might disrupt VR adoption as consoles might indeed become a thing of the past. However it will be a while until the hardcore accepts streaming.
