I can see this being the next Jimmy Kimmel prank. Record your kids and friends as you turn off there xbones. I can't wait to do this to people

Real question this brings up
Will it be possible to turn off another person's xbox from a skype call?
That would be amazing
And what about games of COD?
They have to fix it

shit haha, i bet that will be patched the first week since they haven't thought of that yet.
I can see lots of people saying "xbox off" to troll people playing the xbox one kiosks , welp
Pretty much what we think would happen.

yep, i was just thinking Kojima would go fourth wall crazy with this feature.
Lol.
Adam Sessler is finally going to commentate EVO again?
Its probably still set up like the Xbox 360 where it requires a confirmation once the Xbox Off command has registered.
You are naughty!
"Xbox, stop peeping!"
"And NO! I didn't tell you to upload those videos!"
I'd love to see the face of the player when the console got switched off halfway through the game. XD

I was told it recognized your voice and this couldn't happen due to it. I was also told that everyone who had problems watching the Xbone presentation on their Xbox with Kinect just didn't configure their Xbox correctly.
So either I was lied to or the devs at Insomniac can't configure their consoles.

Still awful, some huge prompt blocking your screen while in a multiplayer match? And worse yet if you accidentally confirm it.
Who thought this was a good idea?

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Now that you can unplug Kinect I doubt they will have it on during tourney's.
I'm seeing a lot of excuses here.

It's too bad Sony and Kevin Butler had a falling out, because I was thinking it'd be awesome if he appeared at the end of every PS4 ad to say, "XBox, off."
Now we know why they don't allow cross-platform play.
Didn't they say that about Kinect 1 as well? Because you could pretty easily mess with that one also, despite not having a profile on there.
Not that Kinect 1 is proof, but if the same exact thing is happening then I'm thinking this isn't the strictest of voice recognition.

Someone hasn't told them that they can actually disconnect the kinect now!
Good thing they use PS3's (PS4 @ EVO '14?).
friendly banter between co workers turned into serious business
some of you guys are delusional
I bet you can't actually turn it off in game. It probably requires you to be on the dash screen for it to allow the command.

Sounds like something that would only be funny once.
Unless the second time you set a prerecording of you saying it, then set it up while someone was playing a survival horror so it both scared them, and ruined their progress.

To be fair he gave a vague response when asked if it worked. I really wouldn't worry about it.
The point of technology is to make things:
A) Possible
B) Better
C) Quicker/Easier
This is why the whole concept is weird, it takes less effort from a human to user their thumb on a remote controller/gamepad and switch something on/off, than it does by yelling commands or worse, waving their hands around to open up tabs/videos/games.
Its why i dont think this has the novelty that MS believes it has. The reason smartphones became big is because as they removed physical buttons, it allowed for a better and much bigger screen. Thus everything improved (except battery life) and that is where the market went. It seems like Microsoft wants to turn your HDTV into a giant smartphone with Siri
And speaking of Siri, the whole idea is a failure, barely anyone uses Siri for anything other than asking "her" (or it?) what she is wearing and getting smart one liners back.
