Xbox One voice commands will work in 5 countries at launch

4.2

Xbox One Kinect voice commands will only work in five countries at launch.

The countries in which voice commands will be supported when the console launches are the US, UK, Canada, France and Germany. The information is tucked away at the bottom of a 'Get more with Xbox One' page on Xbox.com.

Microsoft announced earlier this month that Xbox One's launch had been pushed back to 2014 in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland.

According to Microsoft's head of product development, Albert Penello, the delay was due to Kinect voice-control localisation rather than supply issues.

Xbox One will launch in 13 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £430 / €500 / $500.

GAME is once again taking pre-orders for Xbox One Day One Edition consoles after halting them at the weekend.

Xbox One Day One Edition consoles come with a commemorative controller, a code to unlock an exclusive Achievement, and a free digital copy of FIFA 14

I actually find voice commands very cool, I have no idea why everyone bashes it.

I find it very weird how after so many years to design it and make it and also the idea to include Kinect with the console, it is not all fully finished. Bad planning if you ask me!
