Either hyperbole, or you incorrectly set up your Kinect. Crank the vulme up on the TV during the calibration and you will see around a 90% success rate with your voice like many others.
edit: see below if talking about just Netflix :s
Hmm? My Netflix voice commands work pretty well :/.
Not hyperbole at all.
I just recalibrated it after reading this post, just to ensure it wasn't user error, being that I was surprised at how bad it was.
Still works like absolute shit.
Calibrated it at the max volume it would allow me too without saying "Your volume is too loud". Then tried playing a blu ray. Anything from a whisper to a scream does not register at my normal listening volume. Therefor in order to use voice commands, I need to either pause the movie, or lower the volume down by almost 50%. Making the voice commands all but useless.
(Same problem in games, I always have to pause before using commands like "snap" or "record that")
Not to mention every time I use the Xbox One UI while watching blu rays it drops me from 24p to 60 and back again, causing my TV to go black for several seconds each time.
It is an absolute mess.

On topic, people saying it won't be Halo 5, it probably has something to do with it no longer being the "Reclaimer Trilogy", and now being the "Halo Saga" with an undefined amount of mainline Halo games with no "End" to the story arch in sight.
Which also has me very troubled about where halo is going. I am fine with Halo games going for as long as possible, but keep them in defined segments. I don't care if you have 10 trilogies, as long as each has a beginning, middle, and end. A story with no definition is recipe for disaster imo.
