Even if PS6 drops in Nov 2027, we wont get PSVR3(Chances are unlikely anyways, I know) by 2029/2030 if we were to go by the 7 year span between PSVR1 & PSVR2 launching.

That's a long ways, and it's not even written in VR stone. I'm soooo over thinking about it. It's utterly pointless. Crystal Pro(Spring 2027) here i come, unless we're smacked with yet another Pimax delay, of the many. Then hopefully Quest 4 by Oct 2027. Those Meta VR Glasses(Spring 2027) Look interesting, but they'll be boarderline useless for VR simply because of the 70d FOV. The selling point for me would be it's giant 3D & Immersive VR movie catalogue, with James Cameron and others jumping on board.

But ya, console & controller unveils always feel like Christmas, unless your an XBOX which is just the usual defecto predictable spec upgrade, combined with a controller that always feels like a total regression vs what Sony & Nintendo are doing. The DualSense gave us '250hz'(NS1's was 125hz) Gyro, Haptics & Adaptive Triggers, NS2 Pro Controller gave gamers '9'-Axis Gyro, HD Rumble 2 & Smooth Gliding Analog sticks.

12-Axis Gyro(Zero drifting) if it's even possible at this point without a sensor bar/reference, 500hz PR, Haptics 2, Adaptive Triggers 2, a Traditionally none disconnected D-pad, NS2's Smooth gliding analog sticks, multi-color accented 4 face buttons, funkier design and a couple of new innovations would be great. I hope Sony ditches those tacky LED lights that emit from the touch pad, and big orange speaker light. And they make PS6's UI more simple, in and out and colorful rather than the black swirled abyss that is PS5's, with it's depressing UI music that sounds like funeral music for dying robots. lol

Sony tried to embody a bleak soul crushing dystopia and they nailed it. Turning that music off is manditory! PS1's memory card UI by comparison was like this mid 90's neon splat filled utopia. It embodied that mid 90's fun which has been long gone with PS2, thematically, since PS2 in 2000. Even the PS1 started to lose it's initial vibe, spink and soul towards the late 90s.
