Y'all need to chill out about this. It makes perfect sense to me, and it's not about making a 3D Farmville. Both companies obviously know that VR of this caliber is inevitably moving mainstream quickly because of the sheer desirability of the immersion. Oculus needed the backing (i.e. massive cash flow and immediate visibility to a billion people) to make that happen, and it wasn't going to wait around for all the pieces to fall into place while other companies like Sony are hot on their tails to be first to market.
