As long as i wait a second after saying Xbox and use the correct commands or read what is highlighted green I'd say it works for me about 97% of the time. If you just follow "Xbox" with a command quickly it won't be ready. Id make a video showing it works really well when used correctly but I'm way too lazy.
Is it revolutionary? No. It is a nice way to jump quickly between things without scrolling through the menus. It's definitely not a replacement full time got the controller.

Thanks for being honest. It's cool tech nontheless, but nothing revolutionary.
Only in the deluded minds of Sony fanboys is this fact!
seen MANY streams of Kinect on the Xbone not working or responding correctly. Why does it even come as a surprise? It only understands a handful of languages and even fewer ranges of voices and accents in each language. On top of that, you NEED to say specifically the correct thing it wants you to say and not a single syllable off.
Now we see why MS make Kinect mandatory because UI is a cluster of mess and only way to navigate correctly is with voice command. Suck for people with speech problem, unable to talk, young child, they having to suffer with bad UI made for voice navigation.
I wouldn't say it's been perfect but it's nowhere near as bad as people have made it out to be. On the live stream here they would just shout out commands and then another when it didn't work. You are right though. For those that take a minute to see how the system reacts to you and learn what needs to be done it's pretty great. I was sitting down playing DR3 the other night and said " Xbox Friends " checked out who was on and then hopped back right where I was in the game. Didn't have to pause, exit to home through the menu or home button. Didn't have to select my friends or do anything. It just went to my list as I played and instantly resumed when I was done. It's pretty neat.
Snap is a cool function too. Having skype or tv or whatever playing off to the side while mindlessly killing zombies is really cool too.
