No experience with PlayStation VR personally, but I've worked with and programmed on an Oculus Rift (and will soon own one as well). Assuming PS VR is at least as good as the Rift, you can expect:
- hella realism (it feels like real life- I've wanted to sit down on the virtual chair or climb the virtual stairs)
- probably a risk of motion sickness unless your software (and corresponding hardware) are properly designed)
- 50/50 on whether it'll be groundbreaking or just fall apart
The most important thing from my perspective is how developer-friendly it's going to be. Oculus VR (like Myo and Leap) is what I term "toyware"- great hardware that's got horrible documentation and consequently is very limited in its actual usability. If that's the case for PS VR, then you're probably not going to see much software leverage it well.
Technologically, we've had the hardware to do cool shit like this for years- but it's just been w/in the developer community for a while because leveraging it with proper software is really hard.
