Only 5 countries will have full Xbone voice commands at launch [Update in OP]
- Thread starter Delusibeta
- Start date
That's genius. I'll spot people playing xbox with their windows open and yell "Xbox Off" from the streets. Way to piss people off
Hey, shit would also happen if while watching some stand-up through xbox the comedian start randomly shouting xbox off for the laughs ^^.
That would work with current kinect, mine often stop a movie because it misheard itself saying xbox stop,
The new kinect 'lip reads' players , so it knows if the command is coming from the user

But they've already listed 5 countries that have all the features. If they have some voice in 10 and complete voice in 5 that's15. 2 more than there are actual countries. Math doesn't work out.
Edit: To clarify that's why, the original post itself mentions those 5 as a clarification to what some features entails for those 10 countries. If they had more than 10 they'd say so. The way he phrased it would make it sound worse if it weren't the case.

I think you're almost certainly wrong. Here's a longer quote you excerpted:
Note that he says the voice feature "Xbox on" won't be available. Your version that he just meant the specific English words "Xbox on" is highly unlikely. And just to be clear, if you are right, then the name of this thread is too optimistic. Only 3 countries would have full voice, not 5!Albert Penello said:
Given that Penello is not going to clarify the situation further himself; that the website note which started this thread has been simplified to remove the country list; and that the promised chart has to be worked up before it will be posted on an official site---well, none of that points to best-case-scenario news. Quite the opposite.

Thought Albert would have posted the chart by now
Wonder what could of happened that would stop the posting of the chart

Fair enough, you're both making better arguments than mine. But still hoping that's not the case.

So is this basically a confirmation that Tier 0 countries exist?
For real. It's pretty bad.
There's going to be a ton of returned controllers due to needing a god damn pre-manual just to buy the thing and bring it home.

WTF? Are we seriously waiting for charts from Microsoft to help us understand how some of the XBO's features function? Wow.

Rushed console is rushed.We're waiting for charts to see which functionality is going to work where, yes

Unacceptable. And I want day one pun recognition.

Yeah, that seems to confirm my interpretation of Albert's math: 3 launch countries will have no voice commands at all. Otherwise the note should say "Some Xbox voice commands will not be available..."
Wow, this is weird. Microsoft didn't see it coming? Couldn't devote any more time to it? That seems remarkably inept for such a company.

Not to poke a dead horse but has the promised chart been posted yet somewhere?
Or has it been clarified when or where it will be?
Kinect functionality seems paramount to MS's focus of the X1
It'd be nice to know where and how all of it works

Albert mentioned yesterday that it wasn't up to him and that another department was dealing with it.
It sounds like a work in progress, and will be dealt with closer to launch.
