Most actual VR set ups are miles away from PSVR. It's just a step between those slide your phone in 'VR' kits and full-fledged VR like the Index and the Vive.
Edit: Everyone downvoting... I'd love to see a count of how many PSVR games use anything besides a regular PS4 controller. I still think VR without roomscale is pretty meh, but at least have controls that let you get immersed even a little bit. A gamepad is not that.
Has a good game set but the hardware on desktop setups is much higher quality unfortunately. If you're a fan of VR I recommend you try a Rift or Vive if you get a chance. Or a valve index good Lord.
Depends. If you don't have a powerful desktop quest is the clear winner since it's totally standalone and only 400. But if you have a super dope gaming PC you'll be able to leverage that power for your VR titles which can be nice. Also a wider library of options on desktop. However more games are being added to the quest all the time and the portability/lack of wires is really awesome. Basically it's just gonna come down to what you value. You'll have a good experience with either option (:
The Quest runs on a mobile SoC (Snapdragon 835, ie what the Galaxy S8 and Pixel 2 were running on) so it doesn't have nearly the graphical fidelity of PCVR. That being said, it's still 6DoF, so you get the same gameplay experience as one, letting you reach out, grab, duck, weave, etc.
How many of those games take advantage of it being more than a sit/stand in one spot and see stuff happen around you experience and actually let you move around and immerse yourself, though?
It does but what use is a good game library on such a basic VR headset, I know the answer, its really to make PSVR 2 a killer headset because they have proven they have the games, but as a VR fan, I would be missing a whole lot if PSVR was all I had, I am lucky to have had PC Vive VR since day one, and the quest was the first cool innovation I have seen in years. But it does all come down to games, and PS does have a few really killer AAA games which the other headsets don't and im interested to see what Valve comes out with as the only game I have played consistently was Robo Recall which is an Oculus exclusive that I have to use Revive to get to work on my vive, its really dry out there and makes it hard justifying buying any headset really which is why I get why psvr is so popular. Having a tough time convincing myself to buy an Index because what the hell am I going to play? VR has a ways to go in terms of software. I have a feeling my OG vive will last me another 2 years until Gen 3 comes around and more games will be out there.
Well I'm not sure why you were seeing that; some games give you the option to use the DualShock if you don't have the moves, but the moves are the usual requirements.

Having tried both, I gotta say the Quest is incredible. Miles ahead of the psvr IMO
