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."

"Hey guys Microsoft just announced that there's no voice chat between Xbox One and Xbox 360, lets announce that there's voice chat between PS3 and PS4!"
Well considering the PS3 doesn't even have party chat I doubt that. That was the main problem I had with that console.

HxD It would have been nice if they allowed this feature that would be awesome
To be fair i don't think many people would of used it even if it was there. Most people are in partys only because they are playing the same game

Rainbow_Dash They only did this to force Xbox 360 users to have another reason to buy an Xbox One. There are no technical difficulties in voice chat.
They likely have other reasons but this could of been one of the pushing factors of this decision, you just wait until they turn around and reverse it though

How exactly is this going to work for PS?
It's a bit of a let down that this won't work, but I think everyone will get over it.

It's funny, because Sony announced that there will be cross-game chat between the PS3/PS4 in June, while Microsoft announced that there won't be cross-console chat between the Xbox 360/XOne just recently.
Try harder, fanboy.
Get Sony's dick out you're mouth...
