Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe today announced that the Rift (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/11/oculus-reveals-its-consumer-rift-headset/) will be packaged with a wireless Xbox One controller (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/11/oculus-rift-teams-up-with-xbox-for-game-streaming-controller/), native support on Windows 10 and the ability to play Xbox One games inside the headset itself, in a sort of virtual cinema, via Xbox-to-Windows (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/30/windows-10-xbox-one-streaming/) streaming. Microsoft's Head of Xbox Phil Spencer took to the Oculus stage to lay out his plans for the Rift and Windows gaming going forward -- and there's a reason he looked so happy while doing so. In fact, there are a few reasons the Microsoft-Oculus deal should be gangbusters for both companies.
