The company that brought personal computers into the average person's home, and the company that wants to bring VR into the average person's home, having a partnership of sorts? That's rather poetic.
I can't really say that I've seen ANYTHING from the current gen Xbox that impressed me (except for that cool Sunset Overdrive game) so I'd say they could definitely use the leg-up the Rift would give them. Does make you wonder if/how Touch would work on the Xbox, though; will it function with just the one Rift sensor Touch comes with? Can the Kinect camera function as a replacement for a Rift sensor? Or will Xbox Rifters just be left out when it comes to motion control?
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.
