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.

Not really, as their games evolve, their computers need to also to be able to run them, same as console.
Also, I think they could get by with this pretty easily without bothering people with it always using power, by simply adding a clock that always stays on. No one would notice the difference anyway, everything else does the same. :)

I think a lot of people are going to start switching to PC gaming soon and just using a Console Controller.

AJBass Didn't realise pressing the button on your controller or on the front of the console was so hard.


No one said it was... but why stop innovation just cause they don't need it?
