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.

Yeah, but I hope it's just an option to use.


Hopefully it is as the xbox off thing would be annoying if someone said it while you are playing a game

Yeah, generalised voice commands would be torture, but if the Xbox saved your voice samples to your accoutn for each command then it would help a hell of a lot I guess!

To this 'xbox off' business there are so many ways around it such as it only responding to your voice or you would have to say a code or password if you wanted it off.
And to people saying 'What if my mum or bro said xbox off just to troll me?'. Well what is stopping them from pressing a button or switching it off by the wall?!

Nope, I'm not a great fan of this either. What if someone says Xbox off while you're playing it? Like if you're mum is asking you too turn it off all she has to do is say two words and it's off. In the middle of a game and you're brother or someone could walk past, Xbox off! Or even, going to the extreme what if someone shouted down the mic (You had a kinect) saying xbox off and it turned off?

Strange examples of what could happen, but maybe, just maybe. :D

Even though they didn't say that you could turn it off like that, it would suck if that happens.

Alexis-Sanchez What about switching it off.. ill be causal playing a good game of zombies and my bro will say xbox off -___-


ya didn't think about that i could see my bro trolling me. then ill troll him back when hes playing gta.


That's my point, I think it'll be a bad idea as that could easily happen.
