I'm not sure simulating a ship at sea is a great idea to make strong first impressions on new VR users.

CD Projekt RED new project? Big european studio, well known franchise, developing for XO, PS4 and PC.
I know many will say it good enough, but I wonder if Gear VR support is possible for a low cost solution. I recently got my free Gear VR, and honestly it is good enough to blow away most people. If they were able to develop a Gear VR like device that uses a range of phones and connects to the console, then they could have a significantly cheaper VR option. A $100 headset that people can just plug their phones into would be a much more enticing option than a full on $400+ device for the vast majority of people.

So will Oculus integrate their store to Microsoft's for UWP? Or will the Oculus store just be made available on the X1 separately?
It'd suck either way. I think Oculus opening their store, Microsoft better enabling and supporting VR on UWP, and getting rid of draconian DRM tactics, is the least worst option.

Nintendo WS, the next step beyond VR
"A range of phones" a lot of phones do not have the resolution, and look terrible up close. With the device profiles and pitch correction, it's difficult already with the Samsung phones. I shudder to think of how many OnePlus or worse device owners would complain about the experience. And that's not to include the wireless lag disorientation or the overheating/dying batteries from having bright screens pumped with high res video feed.

That would require hardware designed from the ground up to make it happen, each and every phone would need to have a low latency video input as standard

Partnering with Oculus is smart. Get PC gamers back on board. If you've spent a tonne on Oculus, it would be wise to have a console that can also use it so you can get maximum value out of the headset.
That's assuming the Xbox receives any VR exclusives.

Come on Microsoft. Let me run pc games on my console. Add that to upgraded hardware and console games? That would be killer
