Billion Dollar companies don't miss stuff like that. It is possible that they will never release a device if they see that others fail with their products or that they buy something like Oculus because their own headset doesn't work that great but yeah, Microsoft and all other big tech companies will surely have own stuff in research since years. |
You are right but how far away are they from getting a consumer ready device from R&D to stores with supporting games? It could be years away and if they want to get a device out sooner, buying OR will give them a huge boost.
If MS also sees VR as the future then they can't let their competitors get a big lead over them.
