The problem I find with inside-out tracking is the range of motion. One of the most powerful concepts in VR is being able to do things with your hands when you are not looking at them.

Maybe they could do inside-out tracking on the controllers?

Agreed, there is a bit of an occlusion issue when your arms are behind/above the HMD. I feel like they could probably solve this though, with inductive tracking like Sixsense [0] integrated into the controllers and used in conjunction with IMU/camera data.
