Microsoft confirms no voice-chat between Xbox One and 360
Is there cross-console Party Chat? i.e. since it’s all ‘Xbox Live’, can people on Xbox 360s Party Chat with their friends on Xbox One?
For a variety of technical reasons, including the sound quality that I talk about below – we don’t support voice chat between the two systems. You will still be able to send and receive text messages to friends on both systems, however.”
The “sound quality” aspect that Whitten mentions refers to the improvements that Microsoft has made in improving audio chat on the Xbox One. Whereas the Xbox 360 headset worked with 16kHz downstream / 8kHz upstream at 14-bit compressed, the Xbox One’s headset (which will be included in the box with the console) streams 24kHz audio at 16-bit resolution uncompressed, both upstream and downstream.
Incidentally, as TechRadar mentions, Sony won't have any problems with cross-console chat between the PlayStation 4 and its PS3 predecessor. According to the big cheese at Sony UK, Fergal Gara, when asked about chat between the two consoles, he simply replied: "It's there."

Well, this is gonna blow come launch day. Honestly, how hard is it to install a new codex? It's not like the 360's going anywhere anytime soon!

Why doesn't TTG just copy + paste the whole IGN interview rather than drips and drabs from various places. It's about the only news that ever gets posted here after already being posted elsewhere.

MoDOTRanzeeWagering Well I figured this would happen. Don't act so surprised, it's a different server of chat all together with enhanced features, it wouldn't match correctly the Xbox 360 chat aspects.
It's still a surprise to me.. Don't like the sound of this :(
lol they can make it so we can chat they just chose not to.
I know, that actually wouldn't surprise me. Typical MS

You people find the most absurd things to complain about. MOVE in to the future. Who cares that we can't voice chat with a previous generation.

Keep your 360 then. If you must be in party chat with xbox 360 friends, keep your 360. Simple as that. You can still send voice messages/see what your friends on 360 are doing.
