Taken from a post on Nanochan,

"the post was asking about using virtualization as an added layer to browse tor. no one has answered the question yet. the reason to do that is because there are N-many ways to figure out who you are through javascript and/or through nuances in your hardware setup and how it interacts with elements on a page. it's called a fingerprint. check out the site amiunique. also look into these issues, there's a lot of discussion about them. so using a virtualization, as one solitary post below pointed, will make it more difficult for others to discover identifying characteristics about your hardware setup."

So one upside of using virtualization is that it can obscure / make uniform the details of your hardware, for fingerprinting, should a javascript exploit or something else open you up while browsing the web through Tor Browser with javascript turned on for some reason... Isolation, Compartmentalization and Anti-fingerprinting.
