No microphone in Wiimote

No microphone in Wiimote

Both Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata have confirmed the wiimote will have no microphone due to the costs involved. There is talk of a headset however.

This means that previous rumors about the Wiimote acting as a VOIP phone are false.

The Wii is still being tweaked. The direct pointing device will not contain a microphone. The final design will be public by September.

I imagine it would cost $55+ with a mic.
