But it is no vr headset how can  compair to one?

It is a VR headset. MS is just confusing people by calling it a mixed reality headset. The current crop can't do AR at all, the camera on the front is purely for inside out tracking. What it can do is present a real obstacle, like a wall or table, as a virtual surface in VR by use of inside out tracking. It's till VR though and not all that different from the chaperone system on other VR headsets.

How suitable it is for VR games all depends on the added lag of the inside out tracking system, persistance of the LCD displays, and responsiveness and limits of the controllers. (only tracked in view)
