E3 2011 - Sony's press conference
Sony announced that cross game chat will be available between the PS3 and PSVita (NGP). However they didn't say if it can be used just between PS3 users, they only said it would be available for PS3 and PSvita users so that people can talk, no matter what game you're playing or what platform you are on.
But my question is that I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available for PS3 users only, like that you could use Cross Game Chat to chat between PS3 users only, and not that you the other guy will have to be using the PSVita. If they don't put it like that, and they only put it that it will be available to chat between different platforms, then I think Sony is just playing with us.
From what I've seen and read, it will just be an PSVita feature so that they can chat with PS3 users.
Q1: Is it because of RAM?

The PS3 has RAM problems, it makes cross game chat hard. Sony spent so much on video & CPU power, they ignored the simple things like RAM. Combined w/ slow Blu-Ray read speeds, they might need a PS3.5 for cross-game chat. I mean B.O. can't pull up invite list w/o lagging.
Yet they still can make cross game chat on PS3? if it wasn't possible like you're saying 'because of RAM' then it wouldn't be possible to put it 'cross-platform' which at the end, it is the same thing but just between different platforms, but still will be cross-game chat running on YOUR PS3, using it no matter what game you're playing.
That's why in the thread I said, that if Sony don't implement this feature so that it can be PS3 to PS3 and/or PS3 to PSV cross game chat... they are just playing with us customers.
Q2: Is it because Microsoft owns the patent of cross game chat?
I don't think so, because then they wouldn't be able to even make it possible for the PlayStation Vita.
Q3: Is it because they don't know to do it?
Again, it is already on the PS Vita... it is more like they don't listen to customers, on every new firmware (except the security ones) they bring a new feature... and notice that that feature is never the one we ask for, or the one we really need or want. It is always a random feature.
