Elite: Dangerous and PSVR

This will be interesting. How well can they implement E: D on Sonys VR tech. The fact that they don't mention VR but mention launches on both PS4 and PS4 PRO makes it plausible that E: D VR might be limited to the PRO version.

...We’re making full use of the PS4 system and the unique features of the PS4 and PS4 Pro to deliver an experience unlike any other on the console...

Let the speculations begin!

They can't. Sony's policy is quite firm in that other than minor items (graphics/frame rates) everything game play wise must be able to run on the gen PS4, with no special content or level exclusive to the pro. Does not mean that PSVR won't be available, as they could by severely reducing graphics on the Gen system.

On the other hand, the PS4 has proven again and again that it shows a capability well beyond the equivalent on the PC world and the TAM available (PSVR owners) will likely be in the 5-6 millions by the time the game launch, with the PS4 TAM likely well over 60 millions. A nice market to tap into if done right.

Indeed.

They'll do it. Might not look great but they'll do it.

Though I imagine if console VR Elite is what you really want, you should start saving for a Scorpio. Seems like that's going to be more powerful than the PS4 Pro by far, with a more advanced VR solution thanks to the additional dev time.
