While the PlayStation 3's online service has made great leaps since launch, one key feature it's still missing is cross-game voice chat. In order to voice chat with other players, you have to be playing the same game; one person can't be playing Uncharted while another is playing Flower. We now know the reason for why that is and that it's unlikely to ever happen. Meanwhile, thanks to the abundance of RAM included with Vita, Sony's new handheld does support this very feature.
Its absence on PS3 is due to the way RAM is handled. All of the system's memory is handed over to a game once it's started up and it's not possible to take it back to handle cross-game voice chat.
"Once a game gets RAM we never give it back," SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida told Eurogamer. "It's not possible to retrofit something like that after the fact."
