It's not the headset that's the problem. There are thousands of people in the EVE: Valkyrie Alpha and almost no reports of motion sickness.
The issue is the lack of a frame of reference in First-Person-Shooters. In pretty much every other VR game, you either sit still or are inside of a cockpit that doesn't move, thereby giving your brain a frame of reference for the fact that your body isn't moving while the outside surroundings are.
You can't get that in an FPS. We all know what sitting still in a car while still moving at high speed is like, but when you're wearing a headset that is giving your brain visual and audio that say you're moving while the rest of your senses say you're sitting still, you're going to get motion sickness.
Personally I think it'd be sick as hell to play the game on PSVR with the PS Move Sharpshooter and get that full immersion feel, but the sad fact is that you run into the problem I stated of your senses providing conflicting information to your brain.
There have been some experiments that have found that rendering a "virtual nose" at the lower corner of each display can help give your brain a frame of reference for movement, and it might be possible to render a physical helmet that stays stationary while the outside moves to help combat the dissociation, but at this time that's still very much a work in progress.

Those of us who ride lots of coasters, fly jets, or get out on the ocean have built up a tolerance and will be adversely affected less.
That is also quite true.
That's a direction they're exploring to try and correct the gender disparity as well. Testing of VR tech has found that women are more susceptible to motion sickness when using it than men, and they're trying to figure out if that's due to an anatomical variation or males having more exposure to simulations or physical experiences like the ones INFINITE DIVERSITY mentioned.
