I wonder if this extra processing power will be able to used just on its own, without VR. That would probably make the PS4 significantly faster than the XBONE.
 
Doubt it. Otherwise it would technically be a ps4.5 :p
Although I'm glad they are doing this method. Otherwise it would be a terrible experience and not worth it at all. I wonder if all the vr processing is done in the box or it combines itself with the ps4. Kinda like ps4 handles certain things and the heavier stuff is handed off to the box

Maybe it will be something they enable later down the line. Imagine how much it would extend the lifespan of the PS4(.5)

Well then technically they already did that and are creating a SDK to extend that feature over? It's in the realm of possibility but it's a matter of is it worth it for devs to create two versions of a ps4 game if they don't want VR. Think that answer is no
