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

Natal was different, there was a company doing it who didnt mind getting a cheque.... let's be honest here the three companies who are currently doing VR are compaies who have the cash to make this happen. I dont see much benefit in buying a company outside these three to try and do VR because you will be playing catchup. And Neither of the top three companies doing VR are going to sell to MS. So they would be trying to catch up, simple.

Then most don't understand Microsoft. If Occulus and Morpheus takes off Microsoft more than likely will more than likely pass out the check to buy the company just like they did with Kinect. They are always playing catchup when it comes to tech, but outside of that they seem ahead of the game with hololens.

This is not totally correct.  MS licensed tech from that company but they had years of development along those lines.  Kinect 2.0 does not use any of that other company tech and is completely MS.  Sometimes you have to license tech from other companies or risk getting sued.
