The Xbox - Oculus Partnership seems like nothing but PR stunt.

Microsoft has always been behind Sony when it comes to tech. Sony makes hardware so making new tech comes naturally to them.Microsoft tends to look at what Sony does and buy things to try and cut them off and say "hey we have this too". They did it with the Kinect as well.

Didn't Kinect development start in 2006? I think they talked about it with Hololens. And in what way did they copy Sony? Both copied Nintendo in their own way :). And don't even mention Eyetoy, Sega was way ahead there. And VR is far from a Sony concept, it seems Sony jumped on the bandwagon after Oculus got announced.

The kinect was turned down by Sony and they went and did the job themselves when they were doing R&D. Microsoft took it because the trend had started. Sony had been working on motion gaming since the beginning of the PS2 era. Just because Sega started it doesnt mean Sony wasnt involved in their own capacity. 

Microsoft has their own hololens but they got involved with the occulus for a reason. Project Morpheus was and still is getting good press.
