well who knows, but if they are really interested by the tech I agree they could be looking at acquiring occulus riff ... if I recall it's pretty much how Kinect came to existence no ??? didn't they bought out a company working on motion tracking for that ???

In a way, they had been working on stuff like it - and bought a different company than PrimeSince which did the original Kinect 1.0.  They bought Canesta, a 3D CMOS chip manufacture (I do not know if those chips are in Kinect 2.0 for the X1.) For a flagship game on the original Xbox - Bungie.  For voice recognition- they bought out the 'Tell Me' network.  For video conferencing – Skype, etc.

Plus, with the accidental death of Dean Putney, one of the Occulus Riff's founders, last month.  It might be a good thing, so they can back it and make sure it works.  Incidently, I believe Riff said they recently had a big infusion of cash.

 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
