I dont think the makers of Oculus Rift would sell to MS. They already have the financial backing they need form other publishers

This tech won't even be viable, especially not mass market until next gen anyway.

Let Sony beta test it and MS can launch their own with the next gen.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Hmm. After careful consideration, I've decided that Microsoft won't buy Oculus Rift.
