PS4 comes with headset, Xbox One does NOT
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Xbox One is compatible with all the virtual 5.1/7.1 surround sound headsets (Astro etc,) that use optical connections. Also, you can chat via Kinect. So while the 360 may not have a built in headset, every console comes with chat hardware. I don't see the problem.
Perhaps today's most important revelation is the confirmation that the PS4 will come with a headset, which can plug into a dedicated headset jack on the bottom of the controller. Not shipping a headset with the PS3 was a major mistake for Sony, and has resulted in quieter chat lobbies than the Xbox 360 offers players.drakekratos
The PS4 will also work with current headsets.

Because the console is already $500 + tax.... then you'll have to pay another $60 for XBL if you want to use the console (even for offline games)..... then you'll have to actually buy some games..... possibly an extra controller.... By the time you've done all that, it's easily $700-$800 gone just on launch day. Many people won't bother buying a headset because they've already spent so much money... And using kinect to chat?? LMAO... thats a MASSIVE problem.

LMAO... thats a MASSIVE problem. Was it a massive problem when Sony released a $500 platform without any built in chat options? And using Kinect to chat is fine.. it's nice not to have anything in your ear preventing you from hearing surround sound. Have you tried it? Works like a champ.

LMAO... thats a MASSIVE problem. There is a free version of Live if you didn't know. With the system and one game I am out the door at about $610 with tax. I can go home and play my game offline then and there. Adding an extra controller and Live gold is not a necessity. If, and right now it's a big if, they don't include a headset of some kind I am guessing it would be no more than $650. Now that's $150 less than your high end and even though I had to buy a headset, which is not required for offline anyway which you are saying is cheaper on the PS4, it will be much better quality than the included PS4 ear bud. I'm sure the earbud is fine so was xbox 360s cheap included headset. I will have to buy an extra controller for my PS4 too if I needed one. I do all my gaming with friends online so I can't see myself buying an extra controller for either system any time soon. Point is you are wrong about Live Gold being required and comparing apples to oranges. The Xbox One with one game that is intended to be played offline is $610. Now it is $190 less than your highest "what xbots will spend on launch" theory. Obviously that is $100 more expensive than a PS4 with one game intended to be used offline but that is not what I am arguing. I just know that is what you will bring up next. What accessories and services you decide to pay for are optional and the buyers choice. First thing I will do is go buy a better headset for my PS4. Earbuds do not like my ears.
