PlayStation VR will not just a peripheral for the PlayStation 4, according to Sony Computer Entertainment's Vice President Masayasu Ito. 

Ito went on record recently during an interview with Japan's Nikkei stating that, while nothing will happen right away, the possibility for co-habitation with PC users is definitely there. The article in question was translated further in-depth by helpful Reddit user 'MSDefenseForce', here's the full passage.

"プレステVRは、単なるプレステ4向けの周辺機器にとどまらないのだ。先述の伊藤氏は「今すぐではないが」と前置きした上で、将来的にプレステVRをパソコンと接続して利用できるようにする計画を検討中であることも認めた。「プレステ4は元々、内部パーツがパソコンに近いため可能性はある。今はゲームに集中しているため、何かを発表する段階ではないが、さまざまな分野に広げられるだろう」(伊藤氏)"

"But PlayStation VR is not just a Playstation 4 peripheral. While Ito warned that "nothing will happen right away," he revealed that Sony was considering plans to enable the use of Playstation VR through connection with PCs in the future. "Since Playstation 4 shares a lot of its internals with PCs, the possibility is there. At the moment we are focused on games and we are not ready to make any announcements at this stage, but I'd say there will be an expansion into various fields"."

PlayStation VR will launch this October at a price point of £349/$399.
