This is a fantastic solution, I really don't see the problem. Nintendo are really ahead of their time when it comes to online features, I'm sure Sony and MS will copy this very soon, like they copy everything else they do.

Sony and MS are happy to rip people off with overpriced, unnecessary headsets so I don't think they'll copy this time. Nintendo's headset free solution is better for the non-'serious' gamer who doesn't want to buy multiple headsets just to chat online.

Doesn't MS force you to buy a second subscription and headset just so player 2 can also have voice chat?

I haven't tried the two player voice chat thing but, on Xbox One, every player on the console gets access to the primary player's Gold features. At least from my experience. 

 

Heck, as the owner of three (yes, three) Xbox One consoles, I'm the only one with Gold and I've played online with my daughter. She logs in under her profile on my primary console and uses all of the features and plays all of my games. I log in as myself on a second XBO and have access to all of my features and games.
