Abrash at OC5 said that we were years away from the technology in Half Dome being ready, in terms of the hardware inside the headset so I'm personally not expecting Half Dome prototype's features being in a commercial Oculus headset until 2022.
We'll see the CV2, based on the Half Moon prototype, in 2022 and a CV2 S update in 2025 imo.

They will ALWAYS have a high end PC VR headset on the way because they need them to test out new technology that enthusiasts are willing to pay for before said technology matures and becomes cheap enough to be included in both of their standalone headsets.
High-end PC VR headsets aren't going anywhere, they're just using the tick tock model for them.

The biggest problem with the current landscape is that only Oculus with the Rift CV1 has the "perfect" overall experience from HMD to Touch controllers. Everything else feels like a sacrifice/downgrade in comparison, in one way or another. Once we have a better level playing field, then high-end PCVR as a niche market will be badass!

I suspect HTC will not stick with outside in tracking which is something to note.
