PS4 won’t support voice chat via existing headsets
The news comes via GameInformer, which received its information directly from Sony. According to the platform holder, existing headsets just won’t work for voice chat on the PS4 – not even the Sony Pulse or official PS3 accessories.
A system update issued sometime after the PS4′s launch will make it compatible with current USB headsets, but existing Bluetooth headsets are not supported at all.
Presumably, new, PS4-friendly first- and third-party headsets will be released at or close to the console’s launch – but that’s no comfort for those who’ve recently splashed out on a new headset that won’t work with their new hardware.
It’s worth noting that the PS4 comes bundled with a mono headset, so you won’t be left with no option for voice chat at all.
The PS4 launches in November.

All you console fangirls need to realise they're near enough the same and PC is sounding better and better!
Just because PC is sounding "better and better" for you that doesn't mean it does for everyone else. You need to *realize that...

You have your opinion. Others don't want to spend $1,000's of a computer.
"$1000's of a computer."
I think your parents need to spend a couple thousand dollars on an English tutor for you.
Anyways here's how it is.
Smart/rich gamers are willing to save up/spend money for a decent/high end PC because PCs are obviously better, but more expensive.
Poor/technologically handicapped people are going to stick to console because they don't feel like saving money, or don't understand how much better a PC is.
In the end I'm rocking out on my PC with TWO monitors (can ps3/ps4/xbox 360/xbox one do that? no) that have a resolution of 1440p.

Lia Another way for Sony to get money...
LiaGmlukens Glad that i am getting a Xbox and can stick with my old one
Yah I'd rather not spend a ton of money on a headset again
You still have to spend money on an adapter, do you know who will get the money for the adapter??? Both companies are doing things to get money they are just using different ways....

No it doesn't LOL. Stop trying to start ****, go get a life.
Yes it does, MS is making an adaptor.
Go look up the facts before posting
Does the xbox have Bluetooth headsets? Does it even have headset that doesn't require an adapter or receiver to be plugged in? This is for the official Bluetooth headset, that's it. If it has a USB receiver you're safe.
Not that Bluetooth is bad, but considering how much I play and how close I am to my computer monitor, a wired headset to my xbox is just soooo much more practical than having wireless.just my 2 cents
