Xbox, encienda… Xbox, accendere… Xbox, on.
Users in many foreign countries won’t be able to command their Xbox One via voice command this November when the console launches. Sources are beginning to report that the fine print on Microsoft’s website (you know, that little bit of text you never read) states that the voice command feature will be limited to only a few areas at launch.
"Xbox voice commands will not be available in all markets on the product release date. Voice commands will be available at launch in US, UK, CA, FR, and DE."
If you are outside any of the aforementioned regions listed above – you are out of luck. Microsoft recently stated that the “Xbox One is Kinect” and that the two pieces of hardware are one and the same. If Kinect is so tied into the operating system, then how can such a large number of launching countries including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and New Zealand, be left out?
How does this affect your purchasing decision for the Xbox One?
