Surprised a $2BN spend warrants a 7% drop in share price for FB, there must be other factors/stuff going on in the market yesterday.

I don't think they will go down the VR route for some time. Neither the PS4 or Xbox one are capable of running the current games at the levels required, certainly not without significant cut backs or looking like last gen games.
All of this VR stuff even with oculus is bearing prepped to be a mobile device , hence why Facebook have grabbed them. The same with MS and this AR headset, which is clearly there to keep google glass at bay and support MS' subscription and devices future which included them buying Nokia.

Uh oh!
The man who co-created Doom, who co-founded id Software, and who later left id Software for Oculus VR, is being accused by his former employer of taking intellectual property with him to Oculus VR. Lawyers for id Software's parent company, Zenimax Media, sent claims to Oculus VR stating, "It was only through the concerted efforts of Mr. Carmack, using technology developed over many years at, and owned by, ZeniMax, that [Oculus founder] Mr. Luckey was able to transform his garage-based pipe dream into a working reality." The Wall Street Journal obtained copies of the correspondence. Oculus denies Zenimax's claim. The company provided the following statement: "It's unfortunate, but when there's this type of transaction, people come out of the woodwork with ridiculous and absurd claims. We intend to vigorously defend Oculus and its investors to the fullest extent." Update: John Carmack took to Twitter to respond, where he said, "No work I have ever done has been patented. Zenimax owns the code that I wrote, but they don't own VR."
