Next Xbox console will apparently see "major voice control improvements"
The system requires users to use specific terms or sayings which appear on the screen, but it can be quicker to use a controller or a remote to find what you want, rather than spending a large amount of time shouting things at your console.
But all of that seems like it is going to change with the next-gen Xbox. Sources have learned that Microsoft has "big plans" for voice interactions on their new console, which will see that the system is improved to support much more "natural" speech recognition. Instead of relying on default commands like "Xbox, Music, Xbox Music", users will be able to ask questions and give instructions like "what's new on Xbox Music?" or "show me my playlists".
The new console is also said to support speech-to-text conversion, which offers a large boost to messaging interaction on the console.
It is also believed that it will allow users to turn the console on using a voice command, which isn't possible on the current-generation of Kinect. It will likely rely on the new Xbox offering a low power standby mode, which will enable the console to respond to boot up on voice command.

This is good and all, but in reality thats just being lazy, and i dont like this idea one bit i always thought yelling at the console was stupid.. anyway this is my stated opinion and i will say this again, next gen console may be cool to what we know, but in reality, they are trying way too hard, so im not buying the next gen i rather stick with my Rgh jasper and retail slim xbox 360! and my og soft modded xbox, next gen console.. they have so many features that are so easy to hack... >:)
