What the heck that douchebag wants with Oculus Rift? But, in other hand, good news for Sony, now they are the winner on the VR race by default =D

Not even close. If anything Oculus just dominated the early VR days.

Do you realise what kind of marketing and budget this will have now? 

Exactly, now Sony has to compete against Facebook. And Oculus Rift has a ton more cash backing it.

Oculus Rift + Facebook + steam machine VS Project Morpheus + PSN + PS4. Which has mass market appeal?

The real money of VR does not lie in gaming. Sony would be amiss if they left out the casual markets- that don't purchase gaming consoles. (As well as the sciences, and wherever else VR is applicable).
