Depends on the age of the first VR platform that's being obsoleted to be honest and the cost.

Like if you're putting out a new platform every 2 years, you'd better believe I want some backwards compatibility. If it's every 5-6 like it looks like PS VR is doing, I'm maybe a bit more lenient, but if it costs a lot and has a very limited library that's a bit irritating too. I don't own a PS VR so I can't really say anything about anything with respect to the library but yeah, there are a lot of factors.

I'm just saying it's different than the days of the SNES though. Newer hardware makes emulation more viable and reasonable to expect. The PS5 is backwards compatible, why can't the PS2 VR be? It's not unfair at all, but there could be some wrinkle specific to VR that would introduce too much latency in the input that would ruin immersion, or make the hardware cost go way up-- we really can't know. An explanation would be nice to get, to be sure.
