"If you make noise in real life, then the alien will hear you in game.". As if A:I needed to be any more terrifying than it is.

Still - it's a very expensive bit of hardware to implement the microphone feature that eg. the Famicom had, and the 'tracking' functionality only benefits a couple of games. Bizarre decision to make it mandatory as part of the console.

What are you talking about? It wasn't mandatory for any console. They packaged it in with some, so you'd get it in the same box, but you never had to plug it in.

And all the voice functionality worked with headsets as well. Definitely watched old roommates do Skyrim shouts that way for around 10 minutes until the novelty wore off.
