So essentially, to be broken down to arbitrary console war terms we can all understand:

Rift now in MS's camp. Ocolus has more exposure, a legitimate release date, bundled with a Xbox controller and almost universally approved of by gamers.

Ocolus > Morpheus
MS > Sony in the VR space.

Edit: Though I see the other camp is allready doing a great job dismantling this news to make it null and void. Should have known lol

I'm confused by a few things.  

How do you think it's in MS's camp?  

Really awkward that you (and the OP) spelled Oculus wrong.  Which is kinda exposure ish.  Overall I would agree that OR has more exposure though.  

Legitimate release date is confusing to me as well.  The most recent date from Sony was the same date as OR.  "Q1 2016"

Oculus's show was very rough, and I'm not seeing many people in great approval of it.  (In fact I've seen a few suggest that Oculus basically handed Sony the lead.  I don't agree with that sentiment, but we will see how things go.)

Sony is still very much ahead in the VR space.  

Hololens is not VR, and Oculus is not coming to Xbox One (yet).  The only thing that has been shown is VR streaming.  Thus all the "Living room in your living room" jokes.  There is no VR on Xbox One yet.  

People aren't dismantling any news because they are playing favorites, they are dismantling it, because so far we haven't seen anything that is a positive.  


That was really well put, and I agree with every word of it.
