> they are not competitive with 20 year old Playstation 2 software

Have you tried one? Nowadays they certainly are. Sure, you may encounter mobile-class graphics in some games, however these headsets can also leverage a gaming PC to stream higher quality titles as well.

Not to mention immersion. The PS2 simply cannot offer an immersive experience even close to what a VR headset can these days, not for most of today’s youth anyways. This is especially true when you factor in online gaming and other social aspects.

To suggest otherwise requires some strong nostalgia glasses I think.

I can't tell if you just mean because the newer screens are nicer, or if you didn't know the PS2 had a VR headset

Yes the quality has greatly increased since that headset ~20 years ago, and not only the screen. There is also game quality, software quality, features, “connectivity” (online gaming, social hubs). Overall the experience today is entirely different.
