PS4: no voice commands for third-party apps at launch
That's according to an article on Engadget, which reports that on day one PS4 users will not be able to turn on the console, nor pause videos, using their voice, as is possible with Xbox One.
However, the PS4 console can be turned off and games can be opened using voice commands at launch. The console will also use facial recognition for logging in, similar to Xbox One.
PlayStation reps have reportedly indicated that voice and gesture functionality will be expanded over time.
Unlike Xbox One's Kinect, the PlayStation Camera is set to be sold separately from the core PS4 hardware package. It will be available with the console as part of premium hardware bundles.
Standalone the PS Camera retails for €59.99 / £54.99 / $59.99 USD. Combined with the DualShock 4's light bar, it's able to precisely track a player's position in the room.
At launch the PS Camera will be utilised by augmented reality experience The PlayRoom, which will come pre-loaded on every PS4.

Both of you peasants should build a pc instead.
Not everyone is interested/has the money to build a gaming PC.
I agree, not everyone wants a gaming pc, they would like a console, with a controller! And, not a keyboard, and mouse!

The camera is going to cost over 50, you'd think spending all that money just for the console would be enough! I bet the voice recognition wouldn't understand me anyway.
