There was a rumor that Sony was about to implement cross game voice chat via a patch. But because games were already developed without having RAM set aside for this background task, the patch would have accommodated all but like 5% of the released games at the time. Unfortunately, that 5% would have included Activision games. The rumor also continued with Activision threatening to pull support from the PS3 since not having cross game voice chat on their current games at the time would make their games look inferior. So since Sony felt that not having Activision's support would be a huge blow, they pulled the patch back. Again, this is rumor. But since Sony has now explained the reason why (RAM issue), its logic does give more support in favor of this rumor.
