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?

That seems odd considering there is a mic built into my PS4's camera, that I can and have used for voice chat. But besides that, my PS4 shipped with a shitty little earbud microphone thing that plugged into the controller, meaning you actually don't need to buy any headset at all to use voicechat out of the box.
