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.

The new Xbox better at least have better voice than Kinect, cause the voice recognition software for the Kinect sucks.

mysticalrainbow No matter how "improved" the voice commands are, I cant see them being used any more then they are being used now. Its just not needed and useful for most gamers..
They aren't focusing on gamers as much now. They are trying to make Xbox something for everyone rather that just gamers.

DreamEndlessly I have yet to buy a kinect, not into the games and didn't find it worth it for anything else.
But if the voice control does actually get really good, I'll invest in it.
Kinect wasn't worth it. The sensor was bad.
