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."

Of course not. Big bummer for Xbox fans. Its going to be hard to buy an Xbox One, and selling Xbox 360, with no other people playing One, then I have no friends. :(

roekzorsMoDOTRanzeeWagering 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.
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.
Uh? What? So you don't have friends who cannot afford to move with you to the new console when you do? you must have some rich friends..
