Oculus Touch should not be an optional add-on. That’s really the moral of this whole article. Ever since I went hands-on with Oculus’s motion-tracked controllers, I’ve been preoccupied by the fear that nobody will ever buy them or use them.

I understand the issue here: Bundling a headset and two controllers is (obviously) more expensive than selling them separately. Virtual reality’s already a risky venture, and raising the price makes it even riskier. And so Oculus has unbundled the two. You can buy the headset, link the included Xbox One controller to your PC, and “experience virtual reality.”
