PS4 compatible with PS3 headsets, says Sony rep
That's according to a 'Sony official' speaking to Polygon at the San Diego Comic Con this week.
Sony will include a basic mono earpiece and microphone with every PS4 (pictured above) but, if accurate, the rep's claim means PS4 owners will have the option of using the slicker PS3 wireless headset instead.
PS4's compatibility with PS3 headsets was not a given, considering the PS4's inability to use PS3 DualShock 3 controllers for reasons undisclosed.
Xbox One owners will not able to use Xbox 360 headsets with the new console, owing to the Xbox One's use of a new proprietary headset connector port.
And Microsoft has confirmed that it will not include a new Xbox One headset with the console, arguing that that the microphone-equipped Kinect sensor found in every box will serve as a sufficient stand-in for multiplayer voice communication.

Here is another reason to get the PS4. Xbox mics are expensive especially if you want a good one. That will add onto the $500 dollar xbox.

HD_Res This is ****' awful, have any of you that think this is a good thing not hear the voice quality on the ps3? It sounds like you're using auto tune while speaking through a fan.

-InsanelyAwesome- I hope its not just wireless headsets that can be used as am getting the Turtle Beach XP Seven soon for GTA V and want to be able to use them on my PS4 as well.
But good move knowing that we won't be stuck with the basic headset that comes with the PS4
In the article it only says wireless ones. So your probably better getting a wireless set for your ps3 instead
