Yeah, it kinda is, how do you think tracking works - without it, headset becomes just a head on a stick - this way you can actually move forward/backward or lean left/right, which is a big part of experience.

Not even close microsoft are in a partnership and sell the controller and adapter close to cost of production if not below, same goes with the games theyre just promotion items and cost them nothing,

You do not need the camera to play a game in VR. Does the camera enhance the experience? yes, but it is not neccessary.

The bundled Xbox controller costs us almost nothing to add, and gives devs a consistent target. Sell it for profit if you don't want it!

There's no way the bolded is even remote close to those numbers. The XB1 controler and Wireless Adapter are probably something like total production costs + $5, Eve Valkyrie is probably something small like $10 and since Lucky's Tale is Oculus exclusive it is probably part of the deal Oculus and the devs made, I'd say $5 tops.
When game companies bundle 3rd party products such as those 4 products with their product they never pay full price, not even close.

Yeah, technically, you don't need it, but then you have lesser experience - as I said, without tracking what you have is a head on a stick that can look everywhere around itself, but can't move anywhere - and the feel of you moving slightly in your chair while, let's say, chasing TIE fighters in Battle of Endor to better see where they are and game rendering that is quite something.
i'm not interested in oculus rift yet, but i don't find this price ridiculous high, its just high as expected. i'm gonna chose the PSVR since i have a ps4 and all the peripherals needed for PSVR to work and the headset alone will be priced lower than this IMO.
can't wait to do some laps in Nurburgring in VR
