The lack of a mic is truly the biggest head-scratcher about the Wii, because it would have cost them almost nothing to add, and would have been another *HUGE* leg-up on the competition in terms of control. Were they maybe worried about more drain on the batteries? How much juice does a blutooth headset suck down (I'd think not much at all) ...although looking at a Wiimote now, I have to wonder where they'd put it... using the Wiimote like a stick mic is *very* tempting/cool, but perhapse they figured a seperate after-market headset was more practical.
