It's like when Man City get knocked out of the Champions League early and Pelagrini spins it by saying "we want to concentrate one the league".
I'm sorry that I'm having a pop at Microsoft yet again here, but with whole deal is gutter VR. See your Xbox games on a flat screen and play them using a controller that wasn't designed for VR. Lowest common denominator.
I wonder exactly how many times you are going to post the exact same thing. I must have seen you exclaim how terrible this is at least 3 or 4 times, we get it.
Personally while I don't think its a reason to get a VR headset, I won't knock it till I've seen a bit more about it. I can imagine how what he is describing might be an interesting use of the technology when you aren't playing VR games (which lets be honest there won't be a lot of for years to come if there ever are).
The controller thing is fine, till we get full body tracking with some kind of feedback and 360 degree treadmills VR is never really going to be what you want it to be anyway. A dual stick controller is a safe bet till something better comes along.
