The value proposition and technology growth for Oculus seems far more valuable than WhatsApp,
In not so sure. I don't doubt that Oculus Rift will dominate the first wave of rich, western virtual reality headsets. But there's no guarantee they will continue to do, and its going to be a long time before virtual reality is accessible to a vast number of people around the world.
WhatsApp was as valuable as it was because it runs everywhere, including cheap feature phones you find in Africa and India.
