What I do not understand is the "if I don't want it, then NO ONE ELSE should" logic. I don't care about cross-game chat, either, but I know that a lot of other people do like it. I cannot argue against what other people like, it makes no sense. If they like it, then they like it, period.
Simply put, it seems like it would be a pretty easy to install feature for next gen hardware. I can think of absolutely no reason why it should be excluded. Perhaps they'll add it later, perhaps there are workaround methods, but that's something Nintendo should clear up themselves.
As for the issues the article addresses, they're pretty minor--although it is a bit annoying for someone to say, oh, hey, you can just go out and buy a new wireless headset for a lot of money, problem solved.
