Sony Has ‘No Reason’ to Launch New PS VR Alongside Next-Gen Console, Says Dominic Mallinson

“From the point of view of the consumer, to be bombarded with many many things – oh, you have to buy this, you have to buy that – is a message that we don’t want to send,” he said. “In some ways, it’s good to have a little breathing space between those things.”

At the moment, Sony is focusing on growing its VR business, and Mallinson acknowledged that it still has a long way to go.

“The fact of life is, you get a little less in terms of commercial movement from the VR titles,” he explained. “We’re just reaching that level now where, as a developer you can say, ‘OK, I can make money. It’s not easy, but I can now make money.'”

Although efforts are underway to expand the VR audience, Sony doesn’t plan to introduce a console-free, mobile VR system. Mallinson applauded Facebook’s standalone Oculus Quest but added that he doesn’t think VR is something players want to “go out on the road” with.

He's right.  They don't want to bombard consumers with tons of shit all at once.  PSVR2 will come after the initial hype of the PS5 dies down a bit.  It's not like they're going to release PS5, PSVR2, and something stupid like a dedicated streaming tablet (at all) or all at once.
