I think you missed the point, the developers can't program for it because Sony has not implemented party chat because of this rumoured patent Microsoft has on cross game chat but they are suppossed to be working on it so like most patents they have possibly found a way around it. How true that patent rumour is I couldn't say its anyone's guess.
