If PS4 finally has cross game chat/party, PS4 wins next generation.

I don't think that will push Sony over the top, but more importantly: why is cross-game chat so coveted?

Being able to communicate with friends and teammates playing the SAME game makes perfect sense. But why is it so important that I can chat with my friend while I play Halo 3 and he plays Crackdown? Shouldn't we be immersed in our games?

If it's just about a free way to chat with friends over long distances, there's always Skype.

because it makes it easier to get into the same game together in the first place.   text chat is very slow and cumbersome when you are trying to ask a friend if he/she wants to "....". 

because social experiences are always more fun than non-social experiences.

because while a service like skype can work who want to use an additional phone/computer to run the service side by side.

trust me... the thing i miss most about WoW is vent.  the thing i wish for most in the ps4 is cross-game chat.
