You’re right, looking at the $$$/core metric, SQL Server is definitely cheaper. Alas, there are some non-obvious, yet substantial total cost of ownership (TCO) contributors worth considering.
For example, Hyper-V won’t let you scale. I mean you might start hitting virtualization software bottlenecks before completely loading the CPUs. In the end, you might be needing more licenses than you planned for.
On the other hand, some expensive Oracle features are free of charge in SQL Server, like PDB, partitioning, BI etc. Also, SQL Server has a perfect integration with Active Directory which can save quite some time with user administration.
I’m not advocating one or the other, just trying to highlight some facts relevant for decision making.
Best regards,

Been there done that.
Oracle licensing has got to the point of actual number of copies of the software is what you must pay for, yes the same applies to SQL Server.
SQL Server is much cheaper than Oracle.
