Starting your next Xbox with "Xbox on" voice command

4.5
The next-generation Xbox will be coming with voice recognition right out of the box, according to sources. By using the verbal command of "Xbox on" the Xbox should start up.

You should also be able to ask your Xbox, "What are my friends playing?" and it should show you a list of who's doing what online so that you can join the fun.

The next-generation Xbox will also be revamped, meaning the new Xbox is going to talk back to you when you ask it a question. The big question is, what kind of personality is Microsoft going to give to it?

Also, since Microsoft owns Skype, the VOIP service is expected to find its way into the next-generation console.

Reports have said that Microsoft's next console could also stop playing second-hand, or pre-owned games, thanks to the always-on Internet connection that verifies each title.

We are all expecting an announcement with more details to come at E3 this summer, so we can put rumors aside.

Reduction I think they are trying to make something similar to 'Siri'. I'd like to see it in experimental stages, but not thrown onto the console straight away.


Yea, since SIRI was so successful.

Zwrq I really hope this is just an option, otherwise it'll be annoying.


Yea, It would be annoying if it messed up.


Imagine if it comes up in conversion, that would be so frustrating.


Yeah it would be.

It will most likely be an option, it would be pointless to force you to because im pretty sure it's not that hard for them to put a power button on the front.


I'm leaning towards the option path, they wouldn't make new things forced upon for you to use.

You never know, I hope they're physical buttons and not touch screen like on the slims.

Feet Im a bit iffy about the new xbox.


Theres still info to come.


Something negative spreads fast than something positive.


Eh, positive things can always crush negative, such as using 360 games, that would be sick.
