The headset with the 360 was one of the main reasons for its success. PS3 online is normally a ghost town because hardly anyone talks. It made 360 the number one choice for online games.

Even Sony realised this, that's why PS4 comes with a headset.

How could MS be so blind to one of their main reasons for success this gen.

I have to try out this kinect voice first to be convinced, otherwise I'm just going to have to buy a headset.

Already confirmed that:

1. Jimmy suffering from leukemia won't be able to play xbox one because the Oncology ward has the game license and not the ward he is residing in.
2. Anna born with a cleft palate won't be able to play due to severe speech impediments. Anna is devestated that one of her only comforts are being taken away from her.
3. Micheal with a tracheostoma can't speak up and won't be able to relax after a long day's work.
4. Former lead singer Janice won't be able to play anything after having polyps on her vocal cords, having to have her entire vocal cords removed.
5. James with a common cold cannot even lie down on the couch playing videogames, trying to forget some of his sickness.

Microsoft, systematically excluding sick and disabled people from gaming.

still needs it as your annoying brother, keeps telling the xbox to turn itself off when your playing games.

Well thats another fault of the xbox one, no personal control over the console.

Have you ever been in a online game when someone is using kinect as a mic? It's horrible. All you here is the noise from that person's tv.

There si no point for it anymore.
The Kinect has voice recegnition so there will not be any background noise.
I have not read that the PS4 ships with one
Turtle Beach is making the XBONE headsets which is a good thing because if you was using a normal headset on XBL you were doing it wrong.

Wouldn't surprise me, but I'd like to see a link to this "no bundled headset" and "no 360 accessories compatible". If they have confirmed the two who the F is running the show over at MS??

I don't think the lack of a "bundled" headset it a big deal at all. The one that comes with 360 is like a $.99 headset.

Now if for some reason they require some proprietary port, and they don't adopt bluetooth or USB for chat (i.e. blocking out pretty much every headset you can buy). Then MS has gone full re...(you know what).

Open mics like that especially mounted right above your tv causes more problems than anything. Also lets be honest most of the convos we have with our buddies over XBL probably shouldn't be heard or listened to by the entire fam :P

I had a Kinect, and it didn't fare so well having people mute me because of common living room noise. Maybe if it was in a tiny, closed room it would be acceptable, but that would go against the entirety of the device itself.

We already know that it can cancel out sounds from the game so the only thing left would be voice recognition...I don't see that being an issue though. Even without voice recognition they could use Kinect to triangulate the position of Player Number x and focus in on voices emitted from the determined location of the player. This is but one method that could be employed.

Kinect 2 is quite a different deal. We already know that it is considerably more sophisticated than its predecessor. It can cancel understand all noises that are part of the game (speech, sound effects, music) can cancel them out. I'd love to point you to the source (I read it somewhere on Kotaku) but it is buried under the dozens of other X1 stories out there.

Why do you make topics that are lies?!

It will have a different proprietary mic port on the controller that wont use current mics.

It's just MS changing it to make so only mics they want used for the port can be used.

I don't like xbox at all, but lieing about it is just stupid.

I hadn't heard of such a massive impending failure since the ZUNE was announced a few years ago, everything about this console reeks of cheap consumer hating tactics. The global rejection of this device will pave the road for another near PS2 era degree of dominance of the PS4 over the competition. Sony has the ball rolling.
