Not the biggest fan of VR. Would be something I would mess around with sometimes, but it is just not practical. I don't want that thing on my face when I am gaming for hours at a time.

VR on consoles is a waste/watered down experience. MS knows this. Sony does too, but they also know its audience won't care.

I don't agree. MS shouldn't even bother with VR. It will only appeal to a very small amount of gamers and won't make them that much money.

Neither Vive or Rift will have XBO support. A headset for Xbox would need to be designed from the ground up. 

This is like the M$ and HD DVD deal. M$ is only using it to battle Sony somewhat, but not really care too much about it. Make Sony spread themselves thin, while they focus on penetrating with their gaming focus.

But... this doesn't hurt Sony. At all. People who want to buy a console with VR have only one choice. 

Rift is the hot VR headset because its the one people have been buying and using for a few years. Morpheus was just announced. I don't see the public being able to buy it yet. Just demos.

Because its an expensive gimmick that a small amount of people will use.  But that's my opinion. VR isn't something that I'd want to do when I come home from work. I want to sit on a couch and use my TV.

Yes it does. M$ showing Sony that they have some kind of interest in it will make Sony want to put more effort into making their product better. Pulling more money into the project, along with putting devs to work on VR games which has an unproven market and might not see much return. Meanwhile, M$ is focusing on making AAA titles with their studios and using their spare change on buying timed exclusives. Which are all for a proven audience. Their small role in the VR market is providing controllers at bulk pricing and making profit without really putting any effort.

No it really doesn't. Sony is already investing heavily in VR. They built an entire studio dedicated entirely to Morpheus games. They're courting developers left and right to work on it. There are rumors that Media Molecule (one of Sony's top studios) is creating a new IP exclusively for Morpheus. At the end of the day, Rift is a PC exclusive device. The only way Microsoft can hurt Sony in the VR market is by creating their own headset for XBO, which is what I want them to do instead of this rather pointless partnership.
