You're comparing something known (the Rift as offered up for pre-order by FB-owned Oculus) with something unknown (the Rift as it might have been offered up for pre-order by an independent Oculus). Many details might have been different in this alternate history: price, timeline, quality, bundled games, future games as funded by Oculus, and more. Unfortunately I don't know if any of us really have the information necessary to make a truly correct comparison.

Of course we don't have that information. If Oculus had not been bought by Facebook, it could have been bought by anyone include shudder Disney. Who knows. My excitement for and willingness to spend money on the Rift was greatly decreased by the Facebook acquisition. It is of course still quite possible that the Facebook acquisition was a good move that will benefit everyone.
