So VR as in Oculus partnership and not AR as in Hololens.

Is Hololens way further down the road? Would AR require more power to run VR? Common sense says it wouldn't.

Xbox Scorpio will be an open VR platform. Which I actually think could be a huge mistake.

Why is it a mistake? Scorpio supports VR.. Which is important to support to avoid a s*** storm. Great, it's an option.

But very few ppl will buy VR games though, it will never be mainstream. Even Phil Spenser said he didn't believe VR would be a huge success, but Scorpio is ready, just in case.
Win / win imho

It supporting VR is fine. I just feel that the open nature of it will eventually lead to unequal experiences.

I think a specific partnership would be ebtter and will give a more unified experience for the entire user-base.

I think it's cool MS skip VR games. It will be up to third party studios to test the marked.
If it turns out to be a huge success, well the MS got the hardware and will be able to deliver.
But not many ppl want to wear headgear. We saw it with 3D movies and the goggles, not many like to wear them, and not many will like to wear those HUGE VR goggles. Some few will buy them, buy mainstream? Never

It's a gimmick. Another Kinect, another eye toy, 3D, Wii mote, Sixaxis.
