The Xbox One will not include a wired headset when the console hits store shelves this November, Microsoft has informed us. The headset, which Microsoft describes as "a must-have for fans of online gaming," has no announced MSRP as of press time.
Meanwhile, the PlayStation 4 , priced at $100 less than the Xbox One, will include a headset in the box when it ships this fall, a Sony representative has confirmed with Joystiq.

Quite surprised by this. I understand the need to keep cost down, but the packed-in mic was one of the biggest points of jealousy for me as a PS3 gamer. Sure it added to the problem of hearing every 13 year old in the the deep south slinging racial slurs at me, but it also allowed for the times when communication was a benefit. Getting a group of PS3 gamers together always ended with a headache as nobody could ever communicate properly. Rather surprised to see MS not keep moving forward with that.
