Worried about people not using mics in SFIV... myth or fact?

Here's the deal. I owned "the other" console up until it went bad on me last year. I just discarded console gaming altogether since I'm mainly a pc gamer. However, street fighter is a strong enough franchise to make me get back into consoles (even if its just for SFIV). I'm aware of the pc version coming out, but don't think the community will be all that hot.

So my question.. is it true that folks don't speak during gameplay on PS3? This is a rather serious question. I for one enjoyed "the other" console and wouldn't mind picking one up again knowing people spoke 4 out of 5 matches. However, PS3 seems to be getting my interest lately with the annouced exclusives for the rest of this year.

I've been recommended to pick up all platforms, but due to time restraints and my lack of not needed everything.. I'm open this very moment to picking up one console (hopefully before SFIV releases).

Exclusives, I realise should play a big factor in my choice (and it does) but communication is half the fun for me. I like to hear the reaction when I'm owning someone, and on the same token would like to hear words of wisdom from the pros.

So will I truely be stuck with less communication in your opinion if I elect the PS3 version?

Thank you.

there is so many kids yelling and swearing etc on 360 and im glad that its not like that on ps3Darthdaver

But see that's the thing.. I actually enjoy the yelling and trash talking. I dunno I guess I'm in the minority here. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the one to get online and scream and shout and do the twist lol every match but I like to play drunk on Friday nights, for instance. Nothing like being half bent for me with some SFII hyper online (when i had 360). I just like to have fun and ppl with mics enhance the experience.

I'm not gonna ask this question on the 360 boards cuz obviously they'll tell me Live is where it's at. I prefer an opinion from someone who owned PS3 from the get go (and perhaps a multi console owner would be best).

Thanks for you input.

Fighting game and mic?

who would do such terrible thing?

A mic for Street Fighter? Is there something i don't know.... voice activated combo move set?

Does it require the Power Glove?

Is there a way to plug the Wii mote into the PS3?

With my experience with Soul Caliber 4, you might get 2 out 5 matches with someone that has a mic. Still I am getting this for the PS3 and not because of the controller. Because if I was only able to order the TE fight stick for the 360 than my purchase would have went there. But I just have more friends on PSN that will be picking up the game.
