Also development of ffxv was original set for ps3 the ps4 was 5 years away when developing started.
A single tweet on Twitter is not proof, it's speculation.

I can speculate too:
The PS5 will be Sony's final attempt at make a VR Crown for itself. After it utterly fails to sell consoles (like Kinect's motion controls in the Xbox 360/One) it will get discounted without the VR kit, and VR will hopefully be buried for another two decades.

Apple is working on AR/VR stuff too. There is some practical things that can be done with AR (augmented reality), but it's largely specific to STEM fields, and not gaming. Gamers don't commit to fads, so you'll see a few more Pokemon Go clones and then we're done with that mess too.

Microsoft already had to lick it's wounds with the Kinect failure. It was a nice try at doing motion controls, but that is simply NOT what gamers want to do. Had they combined this with maybe a reasonable HMD for the PC, perhaps it would have been the right controls for VR. But I think that's buried now.

Kinect's are actually one way of doing MMD (That's MikuMikuDance) motion input (See Virtual Youtubers) but no other product out there does this except FaceRig, and FaceRig doesn't need a Kinect. However it's not worth Microsoft's investment if they can't sell millions of the Kinect, when the market for them in non-gaming is about 50. And just like gaming, you need a high end system to do real-time 3D animation.

Like it may sound like I'm being really pessimistic about what will come out next, but that's because CPU performance is flat, even among the high end, and has been so for 6 generations. This is why games never benefit from a better CPU.

There is a much steeper curve on the GPU side, but you will only get the maximum performance under perfect cooling conditions, otherwise the GPU will just throttle itself back and that extra $400 you spend on the GPU just sits there doing nothing.
