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."

kal45B52MPAASgTMadkid96MPAAroekzorsMoDOTRanzeeWagering 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..
Keep your 360 then so if you want to talk to them you can. This was completely expected jeeze
Not really, Skype was about unifying the services, this is just a stunt to make people buy the new system, nothing more.
That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard so far in this console line up seriously someone is going to buy Xbox one just because they want to speak to their friends? HAHA "i'm going to spend $500 to speak to my friends microsoft has got me!" -_- also skype was added to buff up the audio and have awesome video chat.
ha ha the ps4 can do it
It makes sense to do it with the PS4 because there is no cross-generation party.. You'll only be able to do it like in a multiplayer PS3 game.
