"Poisoning the well". Most people will have their first VR experience in 2015 using a mobile device thanks to this move. Oculus PC HMD is ultimately restricted to be in the vicinity of a higher-end stationary PC for a worthwhile experience and I'm not sure those even exists in >1% of households anymore.Why? Clearly, the expectations will be very different between a cell phone and something which is an add-on to a purportedly high-end gaming console.
Oculus have been open about pursuing Android from the start.
Just to make it clear: I'm not worried at all about any of this (I *want* Oculus PC to be the highest-end it can be, I want mobile VR asap etc) but it simply hits Oculus in the face in terms of their own words.
