This is like the M$ and HD DVD deal. M$ is only using it to battle Sony somewhat, but not really care too much about it. Make Sony spread themselves thin while they focus on penetrating with their gaming focus.

But... this doesn't hurt Sony. At all. People who want to buy a console with VR have only one choice. 

Yes it does. M$ showing Sony that they have some kind of interest in it will make Sony want to put more effort into making their product better. Pulling more money into the project, along with putting devs to work on VR games which has an unproven market and might not see much return. Meanwhile, M$ is focusing on making AAA titles with their studios and using their spare change on buying timed exclusives. Which are all for a proven audience. Their small role in the VR market is providing controllers at bulk pricing and making profit without really putting any effort.
