One of the things that was revealed about the PS4's specs is that its going to have dedicated hardware for audio processing, which is going to help significantly with voice chat. One of the best things Sony could do to compete with XBox Live is to include a headset with the PS4. (I believe the controller is already going…
It means that any on-line requirements will be placed on the publisher/developer. Publishers/developers will be able to make always on-line a requirement if they so choose, but it will not be a de-facto system-level requirement of the PS4 itself.
