I think that Gartner was not referring to the consumer market, where VR is still unripe (even if devices like the Oculus Quest and the Vive Focus Plus are helping it in becoming more widespread), but at the B2B one, where VR is already helping companies to spare money (e.g. thanks to a better training). Considering that companies like 6d.ai

Helena playing around with Magic Leap One. Standalone headsets, like the Oculus Go , have decent speakers built in, but oftentimes for demo purposes at crowded events, the noise floor isn’t taken into account.

Virtual Reality (VR), by contrast, can be published across a wide range of devices (headsets like Oculus Go/Quest and Gear VR, phones, Google Cardboard, WebVR, and much more), is completely immersive, and doesn’t necessarily require a real-time data connection (ie can be run offline).

Apart from the play area definition, I think that the fact that PSVR 2 supports passthrough vision and environment reconstruction (to suggest the optimal area, the headset reconstructs a rough mesh of the surroundings ) means that in the future this headset may also become a hybrid mixed reality one, thing that I found incredibly intriguing.
