But I guess when I think about it, that situation wouldn't occur too much...online play is usually for loners... Also, the Wii Board probably can't support 4 WiiBoards and 4 Wiimotes at the same time... |
I believe the Wii's limit is four wireless devices total. So unless the headset hooks up to the Wiimote to transfer the information to the Wii, Bluetooth headsets would reduce the number of people who can play with the system.
In an article earlier this year, a company noted that the Wiimote includes a special 'audio translator' chip to compress analogue data into digital form:

So it's quite possible that a headset will eventually come out and Nintendo has planned for it all along. (Heck even the DS has one now!) Nintendo is just a little late in getting everything setup for it and are probably trying to figure out how to protect the children from the pedophiles... :P
Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
