Xbox One voice commands will work in 5 countries at launch

4.2
Xbox One Kinect voice commands will only work in five countries at launch.

The countries in which voice commands will be supported when the console launches are the US, UK, Canada, France and Germany. The information is tucked away at the bottom of a 'Get more with Xbox One' page on Xbox.com.

Microsoft announced earlier this month that Xbox One's launch had been pushed back to 2014 in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland.

According to Microsoft's head of product development, Albert Penello, the delay was due to Kinect voice-control localisation rather than supply issues.

Xbox One will launch in 13 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £430 / €500 / $500.

GAME is once again taking pre-orders for Xbox One Day One Edition consoles after halting them at the weekend.

Xbox One Day One Edition consoles come with a commemorative controller, a code to unlock an exclusive Achievement, and a free digital copy of FIFA 14

Coil I actually find voice commands very cool, I have no idea why everyone bashes it.


The only I would ever use is
"Xbox pause" and "xbox play" lol


"Xbox on" and "Xbox off" thats all i would use


Those 4 commands will likely be the most popular. I couldn't see myself using any others outside of games that support it.

HIV It better me linked with your voice or your brother could just walk in and say xbox off to troll you.


I'm hoping that this is the case also. If someone can come up behind me and shout Xbox off and have my Xbox turn off i would rather disable voice commands all together

I don;t really use voice activated items because of my accent no electronic device can ever get it right even with the advances in technology so I will not be using this feature lol.
