Does Pokemon Go show that MS was wise to back AR??.

AR in phones is going to be really big (mostly for social features, not really games).

AR in consoles for big title games? no. Its worse off than VR is.

Maybe... if the plan is to get the "headset" as thin and light as a pair of sun glasses, that you can hook up to your smart phone (which in the future is powerfull enough for that sort of thing). AND if MS want to then go ahead and make a Pokemon clone for mobile phones that uses AR.
