Beating the Oculus to market was one of the Vives main selling points.

Not a chance. HTC continues its headlong collapse. OSVR will pick up Steam as Vive fails.

I just tried the Vive today, and a game in the crescent bay oculus. The vive experience ran circles around oculus. It blows you away, with the combination of the controls and the ability to walk around the room. Oculus with their controllers could add some of that feel but I haven't seen it attempted yet. I'm way more excited about the Vive at this point. I think people who get a chance to try the two as they exist today, most of them would lean the same way and wait for the HTC product. Of course I might buy both, but I'm definitely pining for the Vive.

It doesn't matter. who needs VR? It didn't take off the first time ( late 90's ) , and it won't far any better now.
